Im not saying a small farm cant be excellent hunting, I know it can. If your going to get into serious QDM a larger farm that holds deer through out the season is easier but if you can get the neiboring land owners to get into the managment with you then the small farm is perfect. Like mentioned before the only problem with a small farm is the deer tend to leave and go to the neibors more so than a larger one. Once they do that all your time and hard work passing young bucks could be wasted. I hunt a 775 acre farm and still have deer go on to neiboring property but I also have deer that stick around all year which makes it easier to manage them.
