Owning Land Next to Public Hunting Ground

Land ownership has always been part of the American dream. While there’s nothing wrong with public deer hunting, owning your own hunting ground is a true blessing — a place to manage, improve, and call your own. But what if you could enjoy the best of both worlds? Imagine owning land that borders public hunting ground, where you can throw on your SITKA camo, grab your Mathews bow, and step straight from your cabin into the woods — whether that’s your private acreage or the adjacent public land.

Owning property next to public hunting tracts expands your opportunities without the added cost or tax burden of owning more acres. As land specialist Shane Patrick explains, “When you are part of a larger connected tract of land, animals move, travel, and behave differently. They are more comfortable and can be patterned differently.” Fellow land expert Chad Pangle adds, “Having private access to all of that public hunting ground is great — it makes you feel like you own a lot more than you actually do.”
