I agree with Ohiobuck. The right property is a hell of a lot more important than the size of the property. You can hunt a 25 acre tract of thick woods with houses on three sides and a nice 500 acre wooded property on the forth. The deer will wanderinto your smaller tract (Provided you don't put preasure on them) seeking a quiet bedding area or safe zone. You may in fact take the big bucks off the larger property. If you are looking for hunting property, pick a thick safe area for deer and cutYOUR trails in it to hunt it affectively.
