Consider your drive time.

My deer camp is about 2 hours and 40 minutes. Myself, or the whole family, get there at least once a month through the good weather months for riding and relaxing.. Often times more than that. And during rifle season I often make the drive for hunting just one day even. It's a manageable drive.

Any farther though and it would not be good. 5 hours of travel essentially adds a day of travel time each time you go. So drive time will limit your options.

Also, do not over look public access. you could possibly go smaller on the property while still having the ability to build your cabin and ride the toys around, but focus your hunting on the public land.

The right piece of property, even if it's small, can be huntable for one person or a father/son.

Do your research. Make sure you buy what you want. Otherwise you'll just be unhappy with your purchase. It also pays to talk to the neighbors before buying. One conversation with a neighbor could change your opinion on the property/area.
