My last three deer were taken on a piece of suburban land in hearing distance of several homes. I killed a young buck there whilst a couple of teenagers were arguing over a skate board ramp, lol. he bow is silent and they never knew I was there. Also, suburban deer are so used to people that they are not nearly as wary of human scent as the big woods critters.
All I need to hunt on is a twenty yard square patch of ground in the right location. If that happens to be on a three acre family owned tract of land in Sumter County bordering a well known WMA and an often used deer trail crossing the fence... I killed two does once during archery season using my buddy's pump house for a blind, lol.
Our place(Indiana) is down to 60 acres and with proper management we have a great herd of deer and turkey.It is all on where you buy the land and what inhabits the land.Look for anything that has *no* housing developments,deed restrictions,city ordnances...etc Also I have found a few plots that border right up to WMA lands that get little or no run through by other hunters.I use google earth to look see at places and then research the areas for my needs..as if it will ever happen for me,lol!
As said it all comes down to location not size!
