I tell you what. You LF boys got a lot of problems. Nah, everyone just needs to enjoy the outdoors. Hunting should be an enjoyable, relaxing time with family and friends....not work.

That is what I think. But it seems after reading a lot of these posts there seems to be a lot of folks that have their panties in a wad.

Too much ownership is all, I could only imagine how people with these attitudes of ownership over deer would be in a state that is mostly public land.

I was up all night drinking and hadn't poked the bear in a while.  I guess this will always be a sore subject with some.

It's hard to put a number of acres on it, but if you're going to have land next to our place, I prefer that you have sufficient acreage to set aside a game preserve at least 2 miles deep on your side of our common fence line (I'll be hunting the fence line heavily of course). Oh, and you will need to feed protein heavily from mid-January - September, not drive on any of your roads where I can see you (unless your ride is loaded with hot bikini clad women), never shoot a gun on your land or do anything loud for that matter, and give me your number so I can call you over to clean my game. That's just the minimum though.

In the last 45 years there has been thousands of sections of land removed from the hunting pool by urban sprawl. Yes I said sections not acres. In 1969 I used to hunt a place southwest of Abilene, now it is 5 acre tracts. That was located 20 miles out of town, that urban sprawl has went in all directions. A lot of that land is lost to agricultural production and lost to a lot of hunting opportunities.

A lot of that land is lost to agricultural production and lost to a lot of hunting opportunities. What I meant by there is no urban sprawl, is in my neck of the woods it's not much of a factor. There's not much of an "urban sprawl" issue. Very few properties are sold to folks from the city. Most of these little ranchitos are inherited and not up for sale. Almost everyone is related. Property next door hasn't been hunted for many years, all of a sudden there is a tractor and blinds going up. Aww crap. Meet these folks on the fence line or the road and they explain that this was/is their Uncles/Great Uncles property and we are gonna hunt it this year. If there was a real urban sprawl issue here there would be more high fences going up. Not hating, that's just a fact.

Too much ownership is all, I could only imagine how people with these attitudes of ownership over deer would be in a state that is mostly public land. There's a reason why we live in a state with more personal freedom and more private land. You just highlighted one. Feel free to try and change that. But I wouldn't hang your happiness on success.

I've killed a lot of deer on small tracts of land. Just depends on what all your surrounding land looks like.

If I send my neighbors a text and ask them to give me feedback on my lawn and plant rye into a giant dong pattern, I'm probably going to get some less than positive feedback. Same goes here.

2 acres-the one I am standing on and the one the deer is standing on. That is the minimum.
