Western Private Land Hunting for Less
Hunters who can fork out the big money for private land hunting are in for an experience rarely duplicated on public lands. Fortunately, some lucky hunters without huge bankrolls enjoy opportunities to hunt the same private ranches as the rich boys. Most western states have programs that allow public hunters access to private land. The programs are possible because wildlife belongs to the states - even wildlife on private land.

I was accompanied by my two hunting buddies Keith and George.
