Twelve Pointer
To be honest, the main reason I was asking is because, given my performance on public lands this past year (pretty poor, where I've usually my limit or close every year for 7 or 8 years straight), I was wondering if still-hunting would improve my chances. Seems fun too, but that's secondary.
IMO the biggest advantage is the extra ground you get to see, and every year as conditions change, you can adapt and hit a new spot. Have fun!
