Hello new hunter here. I have the opportunity to get on a lease just a couple miles east of somerset. It’s only 15 acres and neverhunted before. Just wondering if anyone hunts/hunted in the area. The place is close to Savannah heights intermediate school. Any info will be appreciated.

Lots of small tracts in the area.

Deer population can be hit or miss. Some decent bucks can come out of the area if they get some age

Hope its not too close. Don't recall the distance but you have to be quite a distance away from a school to fire a gun.

I leased a place a few miles south of Somerset last year. Unfortunately it was sold to a developer or I would still be on it. In my opinion the deer population was good, had a few decent bucks and tons of pigs. I really liked the property and would consider another lease in the area.

The negative, it was a “larger” property surrounded by lots of small neighbors. The neighbors weren’t the nicest properties and we had issues with dogs. I had a nice buck chased off by some dogs before I could get a shot off. Still salty about that! Good luck if you get on it.

Going to look at it tomorrow. It’s just off smith road and senior road. They said they seen a lot of pigs and some turkeys but no deer

I would not lease 15 acres at Somerset for hunting.
Adios,
Gary
