When he gobbles I assume that is permission. So quite a bit.

I have about 12 farms I have permission to hunt with a total of 1500 acres or so. Many of the farms border one another so over 1000 is one solid block.

We must be hunting the same farm :super: :tu:
 
In a ~4,000 acre club but only about 10% is decent turkey habitat. Rest is young pine plantation with at least half so thick a turkey would struggle to walk through it. Be a great year if more than 6 or so birds are taken off it.

Also have permission to hunt ~50 acres to adjoins some public land. But the birds LOVE that 50 acres! Good for a bird opening week each year.
 
Dang y'all got some big tracts. I've got about 750 to myself, which I own, that is more in one block than I've ever had to hunt in my lifetime. It's hard to keep good ground to hunt. When I was 18, had more ground than I could get to...for free. Now, if it weren't for my own place I don't know if I'd even have anywhere to hunt.
 
I used to drive an hour one way to hunt private land. Nothing around me had turkeys at all. Now 18 years later I've got a better place that's walking distance from my house. Like I said it's about 100 acres but it's good and close

There was no turkeys here 18 years ago. I know a lot of folks have seen a decline but it's been a boom for me
 
Lease is 829 acres in Hickman county that's an hour and a half away. Moved last fall and neighbor has 350 down the road he said I could hunt. It's mostly a wide open hay field so will be tough based on where I think the boundaries are.

0 private, but hundreds of thousands of acres of the Cherokee National Forest in my backyard
Didn't you use to live in Grundy Co?
I did, I moved because of my job. Family still lives there and I go back and stay every now and then. Looking to stay with Dad a couple weekends this spring and hunt aedc if the crowds aren't too bad. Last time I hunted the base I saw more hunters than I ever have.
