RE: Acres per Deer Hunter
Our property is pretty square with one side of county road frontage (gravel, not traveled very much). Thousands of acres of crops (corn and soybeans) in the river bottom are approximately 1/4 of a mile away. We have 8 members who all prefer to stand hunt. We are in the process of deciding if we should allow any guests during the peaks seasons. I say no, others say yes. I prefer to have several options each day when i hunt depending on wind, weather, time of season, and previous hunts.
We have a cedar thicket thats approximately 20 acres that we have already posted off limits for a sanctuary. And a cabin (electric, water, sleeps 13 comfortably) that we try not to hunt near. We are also iin the process of trying to purchase another 40 acres but until then were stuck with what we got.
thanks for all the insight, hopefully i can persuade everyone else that 8 hunters is more than enough for one day.
