Deer Hunter Per Acre

max of 1 hunter per 100 acres.

Our lease this year is 1 per 85 acres. last year it was 1 per 50 acres give or take but he had about 4 members that hunted only a couple of times. We are clear cut on about 400 of our 680 acres and the land owner cut the lease in half so we kept dues the same and only had the people come back who were in it last year and still interested which was 8 of the 12.

I wouldn't go anything less than 1 hunter per 100.

Only way I would consider it is if we did 4 people and it would be family member or friends. It is cheap and owner says deer are thick because not hunted. I know the owner so this is mainly a pay my property tax and hunt land sort of deal.

Again was just trying to get a general idea of what people thought in regards to how many people should hunt area.

ive been on a 300 acre lease with 4 hunters and am currently on a 160 acre lease with 2 hunters. Honestly, it all depends on terrain and lease rules. I never felt like our leases were over crowded or overhunted. On the 300 acre lease, opening weekend was the only time all 4 of us were out there. most weekends it was just two of us spread out over 300 acres. Same with my new lease. My partner tagged out in the first 2 weeks of the season so i practically had the place to my self all year.

Haven't driven property yet so may not even be worth it but I would rather 4 people to split cost and we can just put up stands and not have to worry about each person having "his" spot. I also live in Lafayette and don't want to drive up there and bow hunt by myself.

We would prly never have more than 2 or 3 hunting at a time anyway.

You can get away with 1/50 of its hills, creeks, and wooded.

Ideally you'd want 1/100 but how often is every member gonna be there hunting.

I looked at a club once that was 600 acres and they wanted 14 members and most members had wives and / or kids that hunted. I backed out and voiced my opinion. The president told me that he tried to find guy's on shift work so when half the members are hunting, the other half is at work.

The land I'm on now was a club of 7 on 300. Wasn't as bad as you may imagine. Now it's just 2 of us

The lease I'm in is 2000 acres with 20 members. Half of which don't hunt.

We have 80 acres of family land that we have 5 stands on. But usually on 2 or 3 of us hunting. But it's very hilly and thick as hell so you don't feel like you're on top of one another.
