Simple question, how many acres do you hunt on?

I have 16.8 mostly wooded in the middle of ag fields.
I am extremely curious to what everyone else has as well. Watching videos and listening to podcasts they make it sound like if you have less than 80 it isn't worth hunting on...

Private: 2 tracts shared with family members, about 65 acres total, slightly less than 1/2 wooded.

I was curious myself, thats why I asked. I've hunted on a 2 acre woods up to 240 acres, killed deer on both. Now I hunt on a 160 acre plot and a 60 acre. Then just 2 minutes from home I can hunt on a farmers 16 acre woods.

It's 78 acres total but only 15-20 acres are wooded I'd say,maybe a little more.

I firmly believe it doesn't make much difference how much acreage you hunt, it boils down to the three most important things about real estate, location, location and location. I've hunted a tree line between ag fields and saw lots of deer, there was woods nearby but not on our property. It is interesting how much or little property can be hunted.

I have 140 at home, as well as some friends farms I can hunt. Have a 280 acre place in Illinois to hunt. If you hunt small spots too much you will educate the deer and seriously jeopardize your chances of killing a good buck.

I hunt several pieces that range in size from 130 acres to around 10 acres. I used to hunt a piece in a subdivision that was only about 4 acres and if I hadn't had my finger misplaced in my anatomy, I would have killed the largest 8 pointer (150"), I've ever seen.

The plot of HNF we hunt is 500+/- according to the plat book. The farmer that borders the plot has around 350 and lets us hunt at will.

100 acres out back door. 100 acres around the corner. What I mainly hunt on? Less than 1/2 acre travel corridor going into beans or corn field. Can hunt it in evenings and walk right to my milk crate without spooking deer. don't let how many acres there is fool ya. It could be a hot spot.

40 acres..
2 1/2 acres in food plots.
8 1/2 acres in grown up weeds that would pass for CRP but not enrolled.
The rest is a mixture of hard woods and pines.
We do not go in the grown up weeds unless we are blood trailing...

700 acre lease with 8 other guys. Only half of us hunt deer the others are on it for the fishing. My other lease is 120 acres that three of us are on. Then I have around 200 acres of private land that I can hunt if I get the urge, plus I have Sugar Ridge public land with in a few miles that has very little early bow hunting pressure that I hunt. I can walk out my back door and be in a stand in 5 minutes if I want. All my hunting ground is at the most 10-15 minutes away from me. I live where I hunt, A country boy can survive, but my t'maters ain't doing real well this year

My parents place is 7.75 acres. My sister in laws parents is 20 acres. Here in Ohio I hunt with a buddy on his family's farm, its about 300 acres. I'd say 90% of it is crop fields. The public tracts I hunt are on the small side too.
