RE: How many acres do you hunt?
 

I hunt 4 diffrent properties or regions. In Southern Maine I hunt on a piece of land about 3 acres in size. Well, that's what we own but the piece of woods is probably 15 acres with a hald dozen houses on it. Our land just happens to be a great creek bottom funnle. In Souther NH I hunt on 54 acres of private land. It's mostly hardwoods (red oaks and beech) with a good portion of swampy lands. In the North of Maine and NH I hunt on paper company land that is comprised of 100,000's of acres. I can't possiably hunt it all so I have 4-5 high priority areas I like to hunt depending on the weather/winds.

I have access to thousands of acres. But I spend 98% of my time hunting on family owned 460 acres.

RE: How many acres do you hunt?
 

I have access to 5 private properties. 3 of them touch, making a block of about 250-300 acres. It is roughly half wooded, and not really exclusive to me, but not hunted too hard either. Land #4 is around 70 acres 3/4 wooded, just about exclusive to me but its not prime land at all. Last spot is probably 200 acres, 50% wooded, really nice place, but hunted HARD. It's crawling with people. Still lots of deer though.

RE: How many acres do you hunt?
 

I have access to about 1 dozen lots in neighborhoods. If I added it all up maybe 50 ac. However since the places I pick back up to parks and preserves you can add a lot more non-hunting land that the deer travel in and out from. I'm always looking for that next neighborhood.

RE: How many acres do you hunt?
 

In total about 2600 acres in 3 diferent properties

All 3

1----1200 acres,about half and half
2----1000 acres,maybe 600 acres is bush,100acres swamp,300 in field
3----400 acre farm,mostly field with small bushlots scattered on property

All this is exclusive to me during bow season which lasts 3 months,except the 1000 acres which is shared with the rifle season the first week of november-----after that its all mine.
The 400 acre farm isn't farmed anymore and is prime land,got permission as well to plant a food plot,the guy who owns the land will work it up for me:)
1200 acre is all mine------archery only-----this is my favorite parcil of land and passed on alot of nice bucks.Within a few years they will be monsters;)

I belong to the Run and Gun Hunting Club here in Fayette County, WV. We have approximately 8,000 acres to hunt on and there is private land dotted all around and in it. Most of the property is wooded area, there are some areas that have clear cuts and some that were select cuts. There are fields that surround the border of the property and of course we have the New River National River that boaders another part. Some of the property at one time had surface mines that have now been reclaimed and make good areas to hunt due to the autumn olives that were planted and the old sediment ditches that are still there that hold water. Plenty of deer, squirrels, turkey and bear on this land! Just need to be in the right place at the right time.

6 acres owned by the family that is sort of our base of operations and 160 acres leased nearby. The leased land is all timber land, no fields. The owned land is mostly farmed (garden).

RE: How many acres do you hunt?
 

Private Land, I have a couple pieces both ranging around 300-400 acres. 1 of which I have pretty much to myself (my brother and I) during archery season. The other private piece a lot of guys use.

Most of my hunting is done on big tracts (thousands of acres) of public or timber company ground. I narrow my hunting down to buck core areas from scouting them. These lands are all public accessible and in some cases heavily roaded due to the timber industry. There are those pieces though that are not roaded and serve as great sanctuarys for deer and elk. All of this land including the private are big forest/logging type habitats, that run for 50 miles in every direction. Clearcuts are the main food sources, and this is definately "big woods" country. Deer are free to roam and feed in every direction for miles on miles. We have a wet climate, not as extreme as our coastal temperate forests but still very wet. Vegetation here is plentiful anywhere the timber canopy has been opened up. We also have low land farm ground in the valleys and river bottoms, lots of streams, creeks, rivers and lakes.

Me and 11 other guys lease 14,000 acres of which we have exclusive hunting rights off a 72,000 acre ranch

Most of the land is covered with brush and cactus with senderos(roads) criss crossing all over the place.
