RE: Acres per Deer Hunter
Where I hunt the land owner has 400 acres of land. However on that land there are two houses and a huge cow pasture. With that said there is probably only 50 or so(maybe even less.. when i get to thinking about it it sure doesn't seem like very many) acres of land. IMO this land could suppose 4 or 5 hunters easily though just based on how its shaped.
Now if you have greedy hunters that try to fill their tags and bonus tags and all that then you might have a problem. This year the 4 of us that hunted it each just got a doe. In addition to that the land owner got a nice 8pt and possibly a doe, I don't really know. We only hunted a few Saturdays but everyday we seen atleast a few deer. Again this has a lot to do with the shape of the land since you are able to drive them easily and beable to predict basically where they will go(One week it was just me and my uncle and he was able to sucessfully drive the deer right to me all by himself).
I would say it depends on who your hunting with (friends and family as opposed to strangers - better comunication and understanding with friends and family) and how hard you plan to hunt(driving it a lot, filling all your tags, etc).
