I have lived in this area for 27 years. There are places around there that are public, but not worth wasting your time. The buckrun landowners will also make it tough for you if they know you are around. There is decent public ground just east and south of the town of Stratford that has held some good bucks in the past couple of years and there is a lot of walk in hunting only that I am sure is listed by the wdfw in the area.
