More land is never bad thing and in my opinion does not diminish your chances because you are spread thin. What more land will do is increase your scouting time dramatically to narrow down your stand sites. More land doesnt necessarily equal more stand sites, it equals the "best" sites.

You coudl have 100 acres to hunt for the whole seaosn and have 10 stands there because thats all you got. Another guy could have 500 acres and still have only 10 stand sites, but he has the liberty to me much more picky on those stands.

Its also my opinion that even if you hunt smart,in general, the first two timesin a stand are your best andodds decrease from there on out as you leave more sign of your presence.
