re: How much acreage do you need/want?

As much as I can get/afford, but depends on the huntable area. One acre, on the backside of a large non-hunted area, like a preserve, may be all you need. Around heavy hunted areas, you may need alot. Just depends on multiple factors. I have some private property I hunt for a lady that told me to kill all the deer, cause they eat all her flowers and rub their horns on her fruit trees...I've taken 3 10's, an 8, and a wide 7 point off that one acre, with my bow. She gets a Christmas present from me every year...
