A one acre lot and it was a honey hole. A perfect travel route between the roost and feed area.

I'd say it's not so much about how big but more about what's around the land and what trees, food sources and nesting habitat the land provides? I hunt very small parcel of lands... Most times I hunt just a field corner without even going into the woods after them. If your 11 acres is adjacent to a field where gobblers strut, bingo. But if it's a wooden lot amoung other wooden lot, I would maybe feel less confident about it.

11 acre lot of my buddy's. Surrounded by town forest. My wife, daughter and I tripled on it. Best day of my life. Z

It really depends on the lay of the land and what is around the property.  Even within big parcels there are often small spots where turkeys want to roost or travel.  For example, I have a 230 acre farm I have hunted for over 20 years but I've taken probably 50% of my birds out of one specific small 10 acre field.

At my house I have 13 acres with a fairly wide wooded windbreak separating my property from a 175 acre corn field.  My kids put up a blind and hunt in that windbreak where the turkeys frequently travel along.

You said it.  I hunt on a 3,800 acre farm down here.  Most of the turkeys we've killed over the years have been in 2 areas separated by a couple miles (its long and skinny).  on of those areas is 6-7 acres and the other around 20.  Its just where they want to be in the springtime.
