Skyline Jacobs mountain first year it went public on first gun hunt. I believe it was about 1 hunter/10 acres Unrelated, but do you know what year they opened Low Gap up to the public? I want to think I hunted the first youth hunt that they had out there but I really don’t know. Would of been in the late 90’s sometime if so.
The fool tells me his reasons; the wise man persuades me with my own.

Mid 1990's Choccolocca doe draw hunt. I think it was about 45,000 acres back then and there was over 3,500 permits handed out. When I got back to the checking station with my little 3 pointer, there was still a 75 yard line waiting to get permits. If those #s are correct, and I believe them to be, that's less than 13 acres per hunter. I used my buck only tag from the previous day so I went straight to my stand which was deep in the woods instead of waiting in line for a possible doe tag. I saw several deer and 2 people before it was light enough to shoot. I squeezed the trigger as soon as I thought it would be legal to do so. Dragging that 90 lb buck out of there was scary. There was orange everywhere and even one guy with no orange at all. I had an orange cap and vest on but I was wishing I had orange pants, boots, face paint and two bicycle flags that morning. An orange tarp to wrap the deer in would have made me feel better too. I'm sure that some of those 3,500 hunters didn't bother to go in the woods once they saw how crowded it was, but it seemed like they were all there. The place I parked had 10-12 trucks there that morning when I got back to the truck. That was my last doe draw at Choccolocca.

Any more than 1 per 100 acres makes me very nervous. As a rule, Me too! But I have hunted 4 on 73 acres of hills and hollers knowing everyone knew when and where everyone else was and how to hunt it successfully. It kinda depends on the land and people

We will hunt 2 on my 40 and both see deer. But it’s usually my wife and son in a shooting house and me either in my climber or another shooting house. But we have 200 acres I prefer to hunt with just two at a time.
Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!

When I had my 100 acres in Lowndes, we could hunt 3 with absolutely zero problem. My old Bullock lease was 380 and it could safely hunt 5 or 6 with ease and no chance of anyone seeing another person. It all depends on the layout of the land and stand placement.
I don't like anything less than 1:100 but there are tracts that can safely hunt more.

Club has 12 guys, about 200 acres per guy. The average # in camp is 6, so 400 acres per hunter. We pay a premium for the higher acreage per hunter ratio. 3 guys in camp normal during turkey season, and 800 acres per hunter still doesn't seem like enough.
We have had 7 on 800 acres in another club, and that felt kind of crowded, but we had fun and saw deer most every time out.
