RE: How many acres do you hunt?
I own 80 acres. I lease out 50 of it to a farmer for agriculture so I can afford the place leaving 30 that is actually hunted. Of that I concentrate on maybe half that. Relations are good with the neighbors so I can bow hunt on another 40 to my south, 60 to my east, 240 to my north, and 40 to my west. If it sounds like a lot it's because it is. I'd even say it's too much at times. Try dragging a deer back from the back half. I still prefer to hunt the best 15 acres on my land because It's under my control. I also know it best. I only hunt the neighbors land with a climber or from the ground and rarely even then.
