When it comes to private land, it's like gold. Depending on the owner, they may charge you a fee to hunt the land, or already have people hunting it and SOL. Or, they charge you, you get out there, only to find that there are people every hundred yards that paid as well. If you get lucky, and I mean lucky, you may just be in the right place at the right time and the owner will let you hunt at no charge or you know the landowner. Otherwise, there are private "ranches" that are catered towards whitetail hunting but you will be for sure paying to hunt. Your last option is public land, but it is few and far between, with a lot of pressure. With that being said, good bucks are taken every year on public land.
