We run 4 members on 1000 acres. We basically drew imaginary lines and each stays within thier area. I typically never see two of the members unless I go around other side of lease to thier camp to visit. Perfect setup!

I've hunted 7 people on 650 acres of very hilly terrain and it was fine. On the other hand, I've hunted 6 people on 1000acres of flat land and it seemed like we were on top of each other. Like others have said, it really depends on the deer concentration and the terrain.

People saying 1 on 100 acre max are likely flat land hunters

We have rolling hills and pretty damn steep drops on our land in Union parish

On one section of the property, we have 4 stands on about 200 acres, and we have had multiple days where we hunt all 4 at the same time and we all get a kill and see completely different deer

18 on 2400 acres. Still to many. I'd like to 12 to 15 members on our club.

Hard to kill good deer when you have more hunters than 1 per 100.

I just got into a 2600 club sight unseen(except for pics) . 35 members comes to 74 per acres member. We will see how it works out.

We hunt 2300 acres with 12 members and it gets crowded sometimes especially during the rut

I am hunting 5500 at a little better than 1 per 100 of big hardwoods and riverbottom. 45-50 member and prob 30-35 deer hunt. Any more would get cramped quick

Great question but remember the hidden equation is how many members PLUS guests allowed...most folks hunt with family so a place may show 10 hunters on 1000 acres but adding in kids / wives / guests...it gets silly quick.

When all the wives and kids show up it can be a madhouse. Only two of us turkey hunt and that's what keeps me around

Bow season and after Thanksgiving break when it gets cold you may have 10 folks hunting on any given Saturday. Thats not bad.

After opening weekend of Turkey Season its a ghost town lol.

i'm from pretty close to the area, I hunt Westbay which isn't far as the crow flies. I would NEVER put 6 ppl on 300 in that area. Those deer will be nocturnal before the season starts.
