100,000's of acres of public here in south MS...

unfortunately the population density is about 1 tom per 25,000 acres in most of it.

Seemed like the population in the north wasn't much better lol being our first time there we had planned on locating a bird from the road but both mornings we went we were unable to ever hear a gobble. Checked several locations and nothing. Not sure if the birds weren't there or if maybe they just weren't within hearing distance. We saw plenty trucks parked so makes me think there had to be birds in the area. Unless those guys were like us and clueless.

I've never heard a gobbling bird within hearing distance of a drivable road when on public. I'm sure it happens on occasion, but I've never been that lucky. All the birds I found you had to claw your way through nearly impenetrable yaupon and privet to get to spots with more open woods. All at least a half mile from any public road.

I'm hitting public tomorrow, the bird I was hunting opening week right on my property line has shifted further off and I don't have another to hunt on private until he or another shifts back on.
