Interesting read...My family owns 186 acres of the same type of mountainous terrain. Its bordered by state game land and other private land. Sometimes it feels like is ten acres. I am trying to manage and hold deer with some success but I have had better hunts on smaller tracts that I have gotten permission to hunt on. What I am saying is that make sure you take a good walk around to see what the borders of the property look like. You will know when you see untouched areas or remnants of stands and or candy wrappers.
