I Disagree too. 280 is a good chunk of land but not being able to cover 280 is a lie. I hunt 220 with about 25 acres of ag and the rest in ridges and hills with all timber. I can pick the best areas for the best wind but there are times when I have a wind that I don't have an ideal spot. You can make die with 40 or 80 acres but the more acreage, the more spots you have to hunt and the less spots you burn by hunting 3,4 or more times.
