Been quite a few years but I’ve hunted it a few times. Depends what kinda buck your looking for ? I took a high 130’s Whitetail on public in a burn area , near crazy horse. Saw quite a few in that 115 to 135 ish range , noting huge but decent bucks and quite a few of them. They can be had on public ground easy enough. Of course your gonna see tons of them on the private hay ground but they don’t stay out there forever. Find where a chunk borders public timber and put the game in your favor. Of course I’ve seen more “big” bucks on the private but I’ve also seen a few on public , right place right time is all it takes.
