3 (mine) to 18 acres on the Westside of Cincinnati. There's a 12 acres horse farm behind me and 7 (5 acres) lots on the private drive, and behind that 32 acres. This is 1 mile from the Michele Memorial Forest and 7 miles from the Miami Whitewater Forest. No hunting in each forest , so around thanksgiving time I get big monster bucks passing through. My back yard is a hot spot for does to gather when they are in heat. Not sure why. I'm always checking my back yard. I mostly hunt on my brothers 101 acres in East Enterprise. The deer in town are so nocturnal. I only see them at night except the heat of the rut.
Issue: most families will not let me hunt in their back yards. Luckily, three of them do. So I hunt around 18 acres in a 60 acre area. Each year my wife or son's sends me pictures of a big one while I'm at work. The deer know to wait until after 8am to come out and hide again from 3pm to dark. They hide during our busy times around the yard. Can't wait for retirement day.

How large is the track we have permission on, or how large is the track the deer we are hunting is roaming?
Very few of us hunt a large enough chunk of ground that the deer don't venture into neighboring property. One place I hunt is 2400 acres, but the deer still roam the other side of the property line.

Pretty much whatever I dont get caught on lol If not joking you're the lowest of lows...please don't taint the image of hunters. I personally hunt a multitude of spots: -One is about 70 acres with only about 20 acres non ag fields. -22 acres I just bought that is 50 percent non fallow field. -9 acre spot of horse pasture and overgrown woods -9 acres parents place where I grew up hunting. All wooded but small plots there too. - 2.5 acre piece that is the BEST funnel on any property I hunt. -20 acre river bottom prop...but over half is alfalfa field and part is just a steep ravine ridgeline.

I do most of my hunting on my twenty acres in Hancock county, half is woods, half field. Kill deer every year. Squirrel and rabbit hunt it too. Have access to another 5-600 but only squirrel hunt it or rabbit. Just prefer my place for deer. No need for expensive tags tha way

So true. That is why I thank everyone for their food plots. We all chip in to help the health of the herd.

Little over 1000 in WV. In Indiana HNF and a 50 acre parcel of private land that borders HNF.
I'd guess the part of HNF I hunt would be 300-400 acres.

I have 43 acres, mostly wooded, surrounded by hundreds of acres of mixed forest, flood plain grain fields, grassland, etc. Fortunately the surrounding land is hunted enough to move deer around but not too much to adversely affect the population. What's interesting is my land is connected to a series of continuous woodlots that are unbroken, except for the occasional county road or powerline ROW, for a distance of six miles. Not bad for an area with lots of agriculture.

Oooops forgot the hunt club, add another 60,000 acres. But I rarely hunt that property, mostly ride 4wheeler and dig ramps there.
