How much property or acres does it take to hunt predators?

I figure it takes at lease 10 acres minimum to make a reasonable calling set.

to hold predators in an area it may be close to that but we have a lot of properties that are much smaller and we call them from neighboring properties.

As long as the property is big enough to hunt legally...I think you have a fair chance.

1 acre if you have permission to shoot in the Safety Zone....Scott kind of summed it up...They come from distant properties when they hear the tool (mouth, hand,  or electronic call).

agreed with smokey scott and UB.  if your not calling small plots you could be missing out.
