I hunt public ground exclusively. Every year, I am close to quitting because of; too many hunters, too many idiot hunters, too many hunters (yes, it's a problem). Reading this forum, I have learned two key items. 1) save to purchase my own ground. Wifey agrees, but wants to be in Louisiana. 2) I need to spend more time re-defining 'my spots'. There are thousands of public acres. 'My Spots' are easily accessible to me, and everyone else. I need to find time to discover other places to hunt. Glad to hear I'm not the only one that struggles. I too hunt almost exclusively on public ground in Indiana now. Started in 2011 and probably hunt 90% public. Loss of private spots and dealing with other hunters definately adds to the stress but I think it's also helped me with being much more satisfied with the results when you do it on public. All 5 of my daughters deer have come off public now as well as several of mine, including 2 of my last 3 bucks.

Sometimes I go hunting when I really don't want to because I don't want to loose the ground i have been given permission to hunt on. I feel like if I don't hunt it the owners are going to let someone else in.
