[QUOTE="treefarmer, post: 3968117, member: 10041"] I'm not sure you will be able to take 5-6 deer per year off the land unless there are a lot of deer there. Since the population may be 25 per 640 acres (sq. mi.) your property's share is about two deer. That means your property needs to be a deer magnet. Since the property is hilly you probably won't be turning it into a massive food source. Consider logging to set the forest back into early successional habitat that will provide the cover deer seek. You are entering a business agreement so plan what to do when someone wants to leave the club. From my personal family experience it is better to own land by yourself because of the problems created by joint owners. Maury is expensive so if it isn't too late you could consider a county further away and get twice the land or more for the money. [/QUOTE]
