How Much Land ?
 

How many acres do you hunt on, and do you feel like it is enough, if not, less or more. I personally hunt on around 1400 acres here in Illinois, and I feel like I have plenty of land. I have land to hunt in both Pike and Brown county. Both places have been great producers of many very nice deer. I feel privileged,as I know many people struggle to find a place. I just pray that no outfitter comes and ruins it for me and my friends and family.

RE: How Much Land ?
 

I hunt 135 acres, with another 85 acres to spare (opposit side of the road). More than enough for the 4 of us that hunt together!!

Oh, i didn't mention the other surounding acreage is owned by city folk - who are tree huggers!! So we have no problems!!

They feed them - we bag em!! lol All kidding aside, we know these people and althought they do not agree with hunting, they do not try to interfere in any way with our hunting!!!

I own 10.5 acres with a cabin on it and have access to the 80 acres that borders me though I usually stay on my property.I've taken some pretty nice deer off it and had the opportunity to tag deer every year.It' suits me fine.

RE: How Much Land ?
 

400 personally owned acres surrounded by another 6-800 that I can hunt.

Pretty lucky for this day and age.

I have permission to hunt 530 private acres on 5 seperate tracts, the largest being 200 acres, the smallest is 40 acres. I am blessed to have access to this. It is perfect, I remind myself how lucky I am and I don't take it for granted.

RE: How Much Land ?
 

i hunt on 32 acres of my own land in northern PA. it is enough for my father and i. i also have 200 acres of farm land in south central PA. if i strike out up north i always have a back up.

RE: How Much Land ?
 

2,000 acres for me. A 1,600 acre tract, and a 400 acre tract. Only 5 of us hunt it. I'm very fortunate! :)

RE: How Much Land ?
 

I have over 10,000 acres of private lands I can hunt, but really only use a small portion of it.

RE: How Much Land ?
 

Well I mainly hunt my own land which is only 13.5 acres, but I have a backup of 135 acres but have to share with
some guys that I would prefer not to hunt with in the same state, if ya know what I mean.

Some of you guys are lucky dogs.;)

RE: How Much Land ?
 

I own 14 acres, but the mountain that our land and cabin has around 1,000 acres that we can hunt. It is all heavily wooded so there is more than enough land to go around.

RE: How Much Land ?
 

I lease 255 acres in New york. Im pleased with the amount of land i hunt on. I also hunt in Vermont a few times every season.

RE: How Much Land ?
 

Can you really have to much???

If so then i ain't right!!!!!!!!!!

RE: How Much Land ?
 

My brother in law and I have 160 acres leased with another 200 we could hunt adjacent to us owned by some friends. It's sandwiched between a wildlife refuge and private land that is never hunted. Besides that my family has 6 and 20 acre tracts that we don't hunt.
My brother in law has 80 acres on the other side of the county with another 80 he could hunt.

RE: How Much Land ?
 

My last two deer have been taken off a 5 acre plot I own, just down the road from where I live. I've got 40 acres about 35 miles north of here that is bordered on 3 sides by national forest, and I've been busy making small areas of that 40 very attractive to big game by thinning and letting the grasses establish themselves. I'll probably start hunting it in a couple of years.
I elk hunt on public land (national forest).

My club leases two tracts 1507 and 1100 acres in NEW YORK

RE: How Much Land ?
 

wow, seams like everyone has some nice hunting land. I have 70 acres of land in Schuyler County IL. its plenty for me and my dad. 50% food crops/plots and 50% timber. Surrounding land is all leased by out of state hunters which is great because they are only in for 1 or 2 weeks and only shoot 1 deer per person.

RE: How Much Land ?
 

I have 48 acres in upstate NY,
that borders 2000 acres of secluded state land,
even many of the locals dont know about the state land that borders my property,
in 3 yrs i have seen 1 person on that land and that was a snowmobiler passing through

RE: How Much Land ?
 

i must be real lucky!:eek: i hunt about 150,000 acres. all of the public land in wyoming i can hunt. wow 150,000 acres.:D

RE: How Much Land ?
 

About 10000 acres of Private land. Some of it is mine and the rest is owned by a the guy who borders me. More than enough. There is much more privete land That I can also hunt if I have doe tags.

RE: How Much Land ?
 

I hunt on about 80 acres of private land. Theres i think 8 of us so the deer are pretty pressured. and across the street from that is public land, but i dont hunt that. with all the hunters on the public land the deer are often pushed onto our land. I saw 11 does on my first two days out hunting. bagged one at around 200 some yards. small deer, looked like a monster standing back there on the hill though. oh well, still tastes good :D:D

besides that, there are plenty of other public hunting grounds around here. one of my friends bagged an 8 pointer on public land. i have yet to do that though.

RE: How Much Land ?
 

my uncle owns 18 acres if i wanna hunt that, or not to far from that place theres 400 acres of state land, and about 14 people from my family are spread out on that 400. sadly the deer are becoming more scarce every year for us.

RE: How Much Land ?
 

my brother and i hunt about 700 acres of family farm ground (grandparents have a farm) cousins sometimes hunt out here too. but i would like to hunt more because the neighbors line up along our fenceline and wait for the deer to hop over onto their land (or shoot them on our side) last year (2004) i thought there were only 2 guys on the other side of the creek. WRONG there were five guys spaced about every 150-200 yards on our fenceline. but on the bright side they pushed all the deer over to my brother and he got his first deer (a doe) at sunrise. so i guess i would rather have less land to hunt with no one around than more land to hunt in a warzone!

RE: How Much Land ?
 

I hunt all over NY. Just south of Albany on a 600 acre dairy farm (it's kinda broken up and oddly shaped and feel it is not enough to hunt. Neighbors are nuts and there are gunshots all over the place. Last year there were fights breaking out....such a shame. Up north I hunt in Old Forge (Adirondacks) not many deer but the ones that are there are brutes. Have yet to see any other hunters other than the guys I was with. Literally 1000's of acres to choose from - no quads allowed tho[&:]. Out in Steuben County (south of Rochester I hunt on 280 acres of private butted up against 7,200 acres of State land. I have yet to even come close to hunting the 7,200 of state. The other 280 is such great habitat and the success rate there is so high there's no reason to leave. Someday I'll pack a tent and 2 days of food and do it, there have to be some old unhunted monsters there....

I own 10 acres of woods bordered by 80 acres of unhuntable land on one side and about 20 acres that also don't get hunted on the other side . My woods has lots of tangled underbrush for the bunnies , and a good mix of hardwoods and cedars . I have other places both public and private to hunt on , but I think I'll work my property real good this year and think about the changes I want to make to it . So far I'm looking to plant some persimmons to supplement the ones I already have , along with some chestnut , hazelnut , and beech to increase the numbers of deer , turkeys , and squirrels . Paw-paws will also be planted , along with blackberry and raspberry canes . The place is too small and thick for food plots .

RE: How Much Land ?
 

I have about 180 acres

RE: How Much Land ?

RE: How Much Land ?
 

I hunt on about 600-700 acres of private land and I feel like I have plenty. It is full of big deer and turkeys!
