[QUOTE="Grnwing, post: 4908740, member: 14910"] I have been very happy with West TN public land, always have a good chance at 120-130" deer every year with opportunity for one bigger. Hunting public teaches you a lot and you can experience a lot of different situations that you may not on lease. The simple fact that a lot of these WMA's are much larger than surrounding private land and can provide some of the area's biggest deer. Looking at deer densities and age demographics, you can really start to see how you are looking for just a few if any bucks over a square mile, that reach the age to express 150" racks. When you really start to breaking down public land compared to private, I think you will find that for a truly big deer with lots of inches you have better odds on public. That is just my opinion that has been formed over the years of hunting public lands. Ultimately it depends on the hunter and what they are looking for in their hunt and what they see to be a trophy and a successful hunt. [/QUOTE]
