RE: How many acres do you hunt?
I have access to 3000+ acres of private land between PA, and VT. The Vermont ground is in 2 parcels, one is about 1500 acres. About 500 of this is field, but no crops other than alfalfa anymore. The rest is mixed hardwoods and softwoods, but mostly maple.
I only have exclusive property access at my family's property and their neighbors in PA which totals about 200 acres. Probably 40 of this is field, the rest is swamp, and open hardwoods most of which is mixed red and white oak. There is great hunting there.
