1-3 IMO

Lease it, unless it is very expensive, use it till you find something better. 2 in the hand is better than 1 in the bush...

2......me and a buddy had hunting rights to another friends land. It was like yours around 100 acres. We put up two stands and had no problems. We actually had around 4 stands but you didnt want someone in all 4 at the same time.

I hunt on 65 acres, and we can have up to 6 people hunting at a time with no problems. None of the stands are in sight of each other, and one stand can have 10 deer pass it and another could not see anything.

It all comes down to using the natural terrain to your advantage. Hills, bottoms, and woodlines can allow 2 guys to hunt in pretty close proximity. We have 3 box stands and 4 ladder stands. 2 of the ladders are looking at the same crossing, so we never hunt those 2 together.

We usually only have 2-3 hunting at one time, and I would love to have access to hundreds of acres. But we own the 65 acres we hunt on, and we have killed plenty of nice deer over the years.

Geez, would not want to be anywhere near that many people hunting with rifles on that small of a piece of property.

I am looking for something similar to you around 150 acres for 3 people. We have hunted 3 people on a long narrow 80 acre tract that only has around 50-60 acres of hunt-able woods with no problem.
