I find this incredible. This is a serious question and not trying to sound like I am putting the situation down, I am truly trying to comprehend and understand.

How does everyone get to a stand without stinking the place up, jumping spooking everything to the next county, and not interfering with each other's hunting?

I realize ( or at least I thinkI do) that 97 acres in your country hunts much bigger than 97 acres in our country, but I still can't even imagine.

I have 300 acres all to myself with the exception of an ocassional invited friend or family member, and my place is considered a small to medium place, in my part of the world.

I also have sole access to another farm of 640 acres, but it is mostly planted in wheat with little cover except on one end where there is a1 milelong shelter belt, and then a few other"good spots" on 2 of the other 3 sides, but it does not hunt as near as big as it sounds. That is, unless you want to gun hunt and shoot them off the field from 200-300 yards away.

I archery hunt public land for mule deer and elk each year in both New Mexico and Colorado, and while I may regularly see another hunter a mile or so away, I have encountered very few hunters face to face or even within a quarter of a mile over the years.

The ony exception would be hunting water holes in Southwestern New Mexico. You better get there early for the afternoon hunt if you want to claim the hole for that afternoon's hunt.
