I would say whatever you can get. The place I'm on right now is about 1 hunter to every 115 acres. Most places are probably lower than that.

What part of the state? A lot depends on the terrain and animal density of that area...

More details please...

Depends on all sorts of factors.
Some places 1 hunter per section(640ac) other areas 1 per 100ac or less.

I've been assured on here many times that all a hunter needs is about 20 acres, it's perfectly safe & sustainable.

That means on the place we have leased that we can hunt 768 people. Man, I better get busy with the season just around the corner.

That's 20 people on our place. I bet we have 20 deer on our place total. One deer for each hunter. Next year will be really slow.
