Guest Finn Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Re: how many acres? My Dad has 80 and my uncle has 240. There's some paper company land mixed in there that has 200 more acres we're able to use. I look forward to paying taxes on all the 320 acres someday.

TreeWalker Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Re: how many acres? I usually start at the end of May, gathering up permission to hunt on different tracks of land across the entire SW part of the state..........I would venture a guess that I have permission to hunt Antelope on about 10,000 acres.......and probably around 5,000 for deer.

Strut10 Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Re: how many acres? Have access to several thousand acres of private land. 99% of all my hunting is done on what I call the Strut10 Ranch (3 joining properties owned by myself, my dad & my brother). It totals about 285-290 acres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Re: how many acres? Here in my home state about 3,000 acres that I have access to hunt in our hunting club. I also hunt with some friends as their guest at their hunting clubs occasionally that adds up to another 5,000 acres or so. For out of state hunting it depends on if I draw a tag or not. In all those other states combined, it adds up to another 5,000 acres or so that are not controlled by an outfitter. I also have a deal with an outfitter where I can go hunting just about any time that I can make time that includes another 50,000 acres spread across 4 states that I have access to this fall.

Guest nwmobuckfan Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Re: how many acres? I am fortunate to work for a large sand & gravel company that owns over 3000 acres. Very fortunate to be one of a handful of guys that have permission to hunt it. There are a few parcels that I am the only one to hunt it. Spend the rut hunting with outfitters throughout the midwest so that is countless! But grew up hunting my grandparents little 10 acre woodlot and shot many nice bucks out of the same tree. Its not the amount of acres as it is the habitat. That little 10 acres had everything a deer needed and it was a honey hole! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig mack Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Re: how many acres? I hunt on one 7 acre parcel and another 40 acres in Jackson county.

Bownarow Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Re: how many acres? I'd say it's about 2000-2500 acres divided in five different properties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rifleman25 Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Re: how many acres? My dad and I own a combined total of just under 40,000 acres in 5 different states. Now not all of that is quality hunting land. Of that 40,000 acres only about 15 is solid quality hunting land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ClassicCamo Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Re: how many acres? For years I hunted 146 acres of family land that I didn't control. It usually worked out well, but sometimes I'd run into other hunters who got permission from some of the other family members. Then 2.5 years ago I bought 280 acres of my own! It sure is nice to be able to control who and what goes on! Now from Aug 15 til Jan 1 I have my own little slice of heaven to hunt whitetail on!
