Sambo, I recommend you do NOT buy land like this.
Back in the '70s and '80s when I was a banker, I had a bank customer who lived in San Antonio and bought these 2,000-3500 acre ranches in the hill country to subdivide. We financed some of his deals, and he had a sales team to market the land to folks who wanted to own some land in the hill country. He advertised in magazines and the newspapers and targeted military families and others who had that dream. He would sell them whatever size they could afford and carry the note. I used to hunt with his son the ranches that had not yet been surveyed and sold, and it used to ake me sick knowing that these great ranches were getting split up and would NEVER get put back together, There are still land investors out there still buying and selling these ranches, continuing to split them up.
The small tracts will never provide the quality of hunting that buyers hope for, and they will be hard to resale.
