Default what would you rather have?

would you rather have 300 acres in the top P&Y/ B&C county in the nation, or 700 in an average county? you manage either one completely for bowhunting whitetails.

If the average county includes where I live I'd take the 700 that is local. It would give me many more opportunities to hunt it.

I would rather have 5 acre's where the big bucks live, than 10,000 where they are not common.

I don't even think I live in an "average" county in America as far as whitetails.....and I'd STILL take the 700.

Good point, Greg.

I would be very happy with either, but I am gonna go with the 700 and put the work in to improve it.

I'd go broke mangaing 700 acres with food plots, machinery, and all the other expenses. 300 acres I could do a good job with. Now add in that I also win the lottery with the 700, well then..

I'll take the 700 in the average because if managed properly, that 700 could grow above average in an average area.

This is what I was thinking.
