Default RE: Size needed for "Safe Haven"

Don't buy anything unless you have looked the property over thoroughly.. In looking at the aerial I would want to know what crops are usually planted on the adjacent fields. If they usually have deer prefered crops they could get out of their sanctuary, cross the line and BOOM, you raised another one for the neighbors. Do the neighbors hunt a lot, any? I would think a sanctuary needs to be in the middle of your hunting area so you can catch them crossing shooting lanes to their food sources. Spend at least2 days walking the property, with photo and topo and learn it intimately. There may not be a lot of deer there. Is there any of the contiguous land available for lease?
