Default RE: How many acres do you hunt?

Private Land, I have a couple pieces both ranging around 300-400 acres. 1 of which I have pretty much to myself (my brother and I) during archery season. The other private piece a lot of guys use.

Most of my hunting is done on big tracts (thousands of acres) of public or timber company ground. I narrow my hunting down to buck core areas from scouting them. These lands are all public accessible and in some cases heavily roaded due to the timber industry. There are those pieces though that are not roaded and serve as great sanctuarys for deer and elk. All of this land including the private are big forest/logging type habitats, that run for 50 miles in every direction. Clearcuts are the main food sources, and this is definately "big woods" country. Deer are free to roam and feed in every direction for miles on miles. We have a wet climate, not as extreme as our coastal temperate forests but still very wet. Vegetation here is plentiful anywhere the timber canopy has been opened up. We also have low land farm ground in the valleys and river bottoms, lots of streams, creeks, rivers and lakes.
