I disagree with this. I have 1100 acres and I'd like to have more.

The less you can hunt the same spot the better IMO.

More good stands > less good stands

I guess it depends on what kind of hunting your doing. If your just going to hunt a few weekends or just a week or 2 then sure. But if your hunting 6-9 times a week for 3 months it don't take long to cover 280 acres.

I guess that is the question.
