Westerner, you may have some bad info. There isn't much Federal land to hunt east of the Mississippi, that's true. There is, however, a lot of state land open to hunting in many states. The amount of land varies by state- the various state Department of Natural Resources, or whatever they happen to call it in each state would show the locations and availability in each state.
Hunting on state land will be free. As to private land, there's no standard. Often people hunt on land of someone they know, and that likely will be free, too. How hard it is to find a place to hunt in an eastern state will vary by state. In my home state of NY, there are more than 6 million acres of public land, open to hunting by anyone- for free. Pennsylvania, I know, also has huge tracts of public land open to hunters.

Growing up in Texas, a group would lease a ranch for whitetail/turkey/hogs. We then divided the cost and got a group to pay for it. When I was 18 a group of 10-12 people could get a nice place for about $50-75 each for the season. By the time I was about 30, this had gone to $500 each and took 20-25 people....this was when I decided to migrate to Colorado. $500 more than pays for both deer and elk...this counts tags and camp expenses...public land is kinda crowded and hunting is harder. Just a way of life here....before ole GI budy came up with his place. Costs are driving a bunch of young hunters out of the sport!! (old hunters too)

About a 1/3 of the state here is either state or federal land about half the u.p. and the top half of the lower when you get to the southern 1/3 there is almost none.
The most deer killed in the state are in the last 1/3 and leases can run frome paying tax on the land to 1000s hillsdale county were the wourld record 8 pointer come frome is in the 1000s. I have hunt the u.p and the southern countys and i have a soft spot for the big woods I might not kill the numbers of deer there but i have a better hunt.
