Yes and no. Haha. Is that a clear enough response for you. The hunting is very different here. On the east coast, especially the southeast where I live. I've hunted my whole life and never owned my own property to hunt on until a few years ago. Ive never hunted on public land here yet never lacked for a place to hunt. Now that I do own land, it's only 65 acres but here, that's large enough to be a hunter and fisherman's paradise here. Comparing east coast hunting and west coast hunting is apples to oranges. Soooooo different. One is not really better or worse. They're both great!
