"How many acers do I have?"

[Graysonhogs]

I would never ask how much, but I will ask Sq footage, I see no harm in that.

They'll think you're casing the joint.

Have never asked how much, but have asked what the square footage is.

I've always said this about Texas land: "Texans treat their land like its their virgin daughter, you don't get on it without getting married first!"

To me it's just a conversation. Someone taking the time and caring enough to get to know you a little better.

[topshot]

hahaha... LMAO

Its true! I've lived here for 19 years and in all that time I have been invited to hunt on 3 different properties.

When I go back to western N.Y. to visit family I have several invites every time i'm up; occasionally from people I've never met before that weeks trip!

I don't think it is rude. I ask the question coming from a deer management point of view, not from a how much $$$ do you have point of view.

[denimdeerslayer]

You better not get on FB if you get offended that easy.

I wouldn't ask the "how many acres" question to a total stranger, but I don't even ask close family members how much money they make. Different things, in my opinion. I've asked lots of landowners how many acres they have, and I've been asked that quite a few times myself. I can't recall ever taking offense at the question, even when it was asked by a stranger.

I've heard that people get offended, but I ask anyhow

every time we go tracking, I want to know how dang big the place is so I can evaluate whether or not someone is likely to take a shot at my dogs if they cross a fence.




for the record, we've got 41.94 acres scattered across three states and five properties.

No livestock except for the dogs.

Planning to quadruple our vast holdings here in the near future

I'd like to get to the point where I can make folks do math when they ask how many acres we've got....."Awww, it's a little more than 19 sections....."


I like knowing that folks get offended by something as harmless as this question -- it lets me know to keep a good distance from people like that.....
