Our lease is on 120 acres. There are only six of us who rifle hunt this land (and about 5 that bowhunt it). The land is rolling hills of oak woods surrounded by marsh and some pines. The bordering land owners years ago made a pact that no one shoots bambies or small doe (which could be a young buck) and only take the large antlered deer or cull out the ugly antlered deer. It's working. We are getting monsters roaming around the land. There is also a wolf pack on the land (thanks Wisconsin DNR) and last year one of the bow hunters saw a huge cougar roaming around it. Of course it's thick with coyotes too. We don't have a cabin and no one cooks. We all arrive before 5:30 am and walk into the woods in a group, dropping off as we go by our stands. There is a dirt road that goes way back in that we can use to pick a deer up with a pickup truck. No one roams around during the day. We sit in our box blinds from morning to closing and then all walk out together. And it costs us each about $250 for the week of gun hunting. Best money I've ever spent.
Don't mistake lazy for old age either LOL!!
