There is mostly private land in 63A, but if you go and talk to some land owners (and aren't afraid of rejection) you can usually get one or two to let you on their property. Spend as much time as you possibly can looking in fields and corners and getting familiar with the property you've gained access to. I've been hunting some private land down there with decent success, nothing huge, but I can usually put one in the freezer. If you can bowhunt then that is the way to go, less people, longer season, better season, and more land owners feel more comfortable when guns aren't involved, especially if he's got cows. The short range weapon hunt can sometimes feel like a war zone, especially on weekends. But you can still use that to your advantage. I also prefer treestands to still hunting, but everyone's got their own style and both are very effective. I think I'm just not sneaky enough to still hunt for those crazy whitetails.
