[QUOTE="smalljawbasser, post: 3870099, member: 14056"] one of the things I found surprising when looking for potential properties to lease was the number of "large" tracts. Having grown up in carter co, I thought from looking around with my eyes, 200 acre tracts of mountain land would be everywhere. Nope. I bet there isn't 20 tracts of land over 200 acres in all of johnson, carter, Sullivan and Washington counties. Lots of small 30-50 acre tracts. Hard to put your 28 acres into a cutover rotation. on top of that, with beef prices being what they are, anything that will grow a blade of grass or a stalk of silage corn is leased and in production, aka no hunting. If the Feds would put 50ac/year of NCNF into timber rotation sold to the highest bidder, I bet the benefit to wildlife (and the taxpayer) would be enormous. [/QUOTE]
