[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5847370, member: 17"] Over the years I've used various techniques in an attempt to measure hunting pressure on a property. However, our very detailed hunting data made it difficult to compare our results to other properties because most hunters don't collect such detailed data. However, I've been looking at a new "measure" of hunting pressure that seems to providing comparable results between properties, and that utilizes simplistic data many hunters do collect. That measuring stick is "hunts per 100 acres per year." Basically, divide the total number of hunts placed on a property in a year by the acres of land, and then multiply that by 100. For this, a "hunt" is any time a hunter climbs into a stand or blind. If 5 hunters hunt one morning, that's 5 hunts. If those 5 then hunt in the evening, that another 5 hunts. For example, let's say a group of hunters (or a single hunter) hunt a 250-acre property 50 times in a year. The calculation is ((total hunts / acres) * 100), which comes out to ((50/250)*100) = 20 hunts per 100 acres. For those who collect hunt data, I would be curious what your numbers would be for your hunting property, and whether you feel that number is excessive pressure or not. [/QUOTE]
