Accept the private land challenge!

[Skillet]

Nothing like your own land to make hunting stupid easy, and offset (in my case) a terrible set of hunting skills.

Hell, I call our hill "Aldi's".

I mean, I almost feel guilty shooting a deer or turkey at my place, they're so dumb. 

Last turkey I killed up there came in with a stupid grin on his face, and asked me how it was hanging. We were sharing family photos when I shanked him from behind.

And deer, forget it! They are up there practically wrapping themselves in freezer paper!

I mean, I feel so good about paying taxes, dealing with trespassing, and all the endless work that comes with maintaining a nice property. It's the least I can do, in return for hunting what's pretty much a guaranteed, high fence operation.

I have killed 726 deer there, 14 elk, 62 snipe, AND COUNTLESS TURKEYS.

I love it when someone thinks it a cake walk on private and there public success means more.

Yep limited by boundary lines.  Small acreage.  Can't find a bird on private I head to state  1000s of acres to roam if your willing. 

Main reason I stay on private... im freaking lazy don't want to get in vehicle and drive anywhere. Can hunt 1 hour and go back in house. Watch game to end and go out for last hour..  lazy..yep camp lazy acres...

IDK, maybe there's less prickers on private, making it easier?

I had a pic of a turkey in April on our property.  So we must have hundreds.  I mean I haven't seen one all spring, summer, or fall when I've been out there but they must be there it is private land.

Coming from someone who has hunted turkeys , deer, and numerous other critters on .both private and public land over the last fifty years,  I have to say, SKILLET IS MY HERO..!!!...
