A wildlife manager once told me that ON THE AVERAGE 500 acres will produce 1 trophy animal. If you have 1500 acres, you can expect ON AVERAGE, 3 trophy animals. Most clubs do not want to hear this. The reason being, in my area, you have to have about 1 hunter for every 100 acres just to pay the land lease costs. Do the math....500 acres, 5 hunters, 1 trophy buck. There will most likely be 4 hunters that feel like they wasted alot of time and money. If you have good, reasonable hunters, they will understand that even if you do everything right, you still need a lion's share of luck to get that deer of a lifetime.
