charlie,

The characteristics to look for vary based on the landowner’s objectives.  The habitat quality and deer management practices on neighboring properties is probably the most commonly overlooked characteristic.  Current deer population levels and historical harvest trends and quality are also commonly overlooked.

I strongly recommend having an uninvolved third party inspect the property before an offer is made.  It’s easy for consumers to only see the good qualities and overlook potential hurdles.  Purchasing a property is a large investment.  Take time to do thorough research!

Enjoy creation,
