I agree that over hunted lands happen, and many folks that lease or even book guided hunts, don't take that into consideration when paying for things and why I pointed it out!

another thing to consider is, when looking at land, is, how much of the land is actually hunt able, I have been on many lands that a huge amount of the owners acres were useless for hunting, due to safety zones/concerns, or open fields, NO cover no tree's or cover to hunt from
so amount of acres doesn't always mean its all use-able for hunting

and like you said SOME lands can be hunted by several hunters and not be a issue, but IMO< that is rare
as deer learn hunters patterns, and pressure, you take any land for a 5-7 day hunt and stick a hunter in 1 location ALL week, and most won't be happy,( I know I wouldn;t be) most IMO will want change of scenery over there week
and JUST switching stands isn't the best way to hunt a land, yet it does get done often
so a 100 acres even in thick area;s, doesn't leave a ton of room for hunters to move about during the week to make changes in stand locations, just trying to work with the wind on that size of land can be tricky pending terrain of the acres!

this is again why, I always do my homework on renting lands , and I try to get on land before they maybe get pressured by other renters/leaser's
everyone loves the rut, but there is something about early season and NO pressure for a yr on bucks

the RUT, IMO< only helps pressured lands by bucks moving about looking for love, but the DOE< that lure them, once they figure out hunters are on a land, can pull bucks else where! or again, make them more nocturnal, which I feel is a BIG issue las of the last decade or so
deer have figured out that lands with food plots and prime food sources , can wait ALL day and come at night, get there fill on and again hide all day,a s they know the food is there 24/7 and why risk feeding in day time when safer at night on lands that have higher pressure!
