Hard to find a free place to hunt. Most land is leased. Understandable- game is a crop and farming is not always possible or profitable. Those who gain access for free (or trespass) not always appreciative, or treat the property well. They may litter, drive where should not, do not re-latch gates. There is BLM land out West, and in the East, there are smaller areas available.
Out of state tags can be expensive, lottery tags, guided hunts, elk hunts...
African hunting involves expensive travel, ph, very expensive tags even for common antelope, and then taxidermy fees.
Looked at just one site that offered for sale completed taxidermy mounts for under a thousand dollars.That might be 20% of what it costs to go to Africa , shoot your game, and have it mounted.
In Ohio, a reasonable goal would be deer, and if you are not too elitish-squirrel. Coyotes have killed most rabbits, and chucks. There are
no wild pheasant or quail left. Are dove, I hear.
My Uncle Bob, shot 100 rabbits and 12 pheasant a year in early ww2. Then he went to sea in an oiler. Oil tankers were reputed to be damxd dangerous, but he seemed unaware of that ,years later.
Edit: Read recently that avg lease cost per man is $1500.The older hunters as o'connor, bob hagel, elmer had better experiences than one does today. Exotic hunting was always expensive, perhaps due to travel and time costs. In the 50's, I saw 2 deer total in ohio. Now I see 10 a day in suburbia. Bad winter-ate shrubs down to skeletons. No hunting, so BIG bucks. Established gun writers get some good free deals- They just have to write nice things. I would too. Like politicians- get along or go away. Public tracts in Ohio are scattered, and often little game and over hunted. Southern Ohio-big tracts , but not close to most . Again, time, travel, costs. Has turned most of us into wannabe hunters, and plinkers. Always wished, I was out West. Even there, on private land, it is leasing. Landowner works hard, struggles to survive, and public comes up and wants free ride-no cost, no work. So, some resent landowner.
