One particular guy I know takes both deer and turkeys right out of his back yard. His place borders a big "holler" , so it doesn't cost but the price of a cartridge . The turkeys are considered a nuisance by the locals, there's so many of them. The state tried introducing coyotes to help control them. Not such a bright idea. Now they have a coyote and a turkey problem.
I took a walk into that holler whilst visiting once. I swear, there was either a deer or a turkey behind every tree. A true, traditional Thanksgiving dinner would be easy to do. The deer aren't very big. Nothing like a NV Muley. But there's enough of them to make up in number what they lack in size. I can't see deer becoming extinct in WV even with year round hunting.
We've got a bunch of coyotes where I live and they have had an impact on the number of turkeys we have around here...and pet cats as well.
Actually a box of .22 caliber ammo costs about $13.00 for a 50 round box, while my Whitetail Pro Core-Lokt hunting 30-06 big game ammo costs me a whopping $21.00. and my Henry Lever Action rifle cost me new a whole $179.00 on sale 20 years ago. Not 50K!
Multiply all that by 1000 Seriously, it would take 2 trucks to move the guns and probably 3 to haul the ammo. Yes you can have the money to buy all those guns and still be white trash.........
Hunting can be expensive. Or more properly, one can spend a lot of money on hunting. But where I was living until a couple of weeks ago, a deer was the price of a cartridge. Wake up, open front door, look at field, three out of seven days, there is a deer browsing within 50-100 yards.
Turkey were even more common. Every single day, a gang in the driveway.
I actually do have permission to hunt several of our neighbors properties but find that its completely unnecessary. I usually just stick to my own or my immediate families land. A few hundred acres. It sounds like a lot but its most cleared farm land. Not even really acceptable to lease it for hunting. lol. Its got about 20 acres of wooded property on it. Still I have never had trouble bagging all I wanted there. If I really need to my immediate family has about thousand acres with a lot more woods on it.
Now after deer season I do have access to many many properties for yotes and hogs.
LOL......When you said a little land I thought of the people I have seen buy 5 acres for hunting land.
We figure 40 acres per hunter is about right in our area.

No you don't have too at all. You just need to know the deer you are hunting and plan way in advance.
And you know what way they will run????
