State land is not private. it is available for use by state law. You can not camp on it or build a fire. BLM and NF are your best bets as some G&F lands have restrictions about camping in designated spots.
Make sure that tent can withstand wind, it will blow at some point during your hunt.
You are correct on not private as in no trespassing but for aspects such as hunting the game and fish looks at it as if it is private land. It's the weirdest wording of regulation.
