Tell you what I'm About as lost as last years easter eggs on the whole Captain Hook deal. To get back on topic would it benefit more to leave and entire large field standing, bushhog half, or leave standing and cut out paths? Really interested in this and actually think that it may work well on our land. Setterman I will PM you some pics as soon as i can upoad them onto my computer. Thanks.
I would personally leave the entire field standing, and if you plan to hunt it instead of using as a sanctuary, I would cut some very discreet shooting lanes, but be careful to not cut too much, as anything that will make them feel exposed will not work on the kind of deer you want to kill.

I'm still laughing Monsterbuck....What I do is cut my fields in spring, then again in July before the bees get into the ground...then a couple of weeks before the gun opener I cut shooting lanes. This has worked best for me over the last 20 years. If you cut the entire field the big boys will not come through or in it until after dark...at least on my farm that's how it is...As I said before, I plant no food plots and do nothing special other than what I just told you. I bow and gun hunt the farm...not only the fields but the woods also

You said you had 8 or 9 fields didn't you?...Do a little bit everything, mix it up, experiment a bit, don't do the same thing to all of em....thats what i'd do anyways...see what works for you....

This shurely can't be the same piece of property that mis-managment on the state level was forcing you hunt out of state is it?... 
You do realize that I have and hunt properties in numerous states, don't you? That piece of ground here is on the mends now, after I worked diligently with my neighbors during the summer to come to an agreement which will benefit us all in the long run. I also, have said several times since I returned a few weeks ago, that I was wrong about the state of the deer herd in TN, hundreds of research hours by me and others proved my theories dead wrong. You can't eat crow any better then I have since my return a few weeks back.
I did not come back to argue and fight, that is not who I am, and last year went off in an entirely different direction then I would normally.
Carry on the childish bickering, but count me out, those days are over.

Hey don't get so defensive, all I done was ask you what I thought was a simple question  . I ain't bickering over anything,....I was curious about the statement you made thats all.....and right here it is..
One exception on my property here....,
...Now see, silly enough, I thought with this site being named TNDEER...That when you stated my property HERE, that you meant the property in TN...
Aside from being the superior hunter that you are it doesn't surprise me that havesting mature bucks in any situation for you would be relativley easy, but that particular statement in itself just seemed to have contradicted yourself on an earlier position...which honestly, really doesn't surprise me to much...
And yes, I realize alot of things I can assure you...but don't hinge your credintials on what you feel are mine, or anyone elses lack of understanding...
I don't care how much crow you feel you've eaten. You were the one that killed and cooked that bird, nobody else....and as far as I'm concerned, there is still a bite or two left on your plate......

If you would have just left that judgmental last line off....

BSK- If the leopards spots only got muddy for a short period of time, they certainly can become clean after a good bath. MY stint into pessimism and bitterness was over a one season debacle of events, that I handled like an infant, rather then an adult.
tndrbstr- I do manage my property here with a central thick area, I left the high ground in mature woods. It has worked well, for me on that property. I also manage the lands I hunt in Miss that way, along with one other tract we handle for a landowner. Many properties we work do not need any thick areas created because of the timber rotation. Same can be said for the property we started work on last year for some guys in GA, it has plenty of secondary growth from recent select harvests, and thinning operations.
I am far from a big buck master, or anything close. I have had quite a bit of success over the years, along with most who spend as much time as I do in the woods, and many who spend half as much.
All of this strife over me having a different of opinion with BSK, amazing, I never criticized his approach just cited a different approach, and look at the vitriol which spewed forth.
Fellas, life is too short to be like this.

I find it amazing that you think that the "vitriol" (scathing criticism) is over you having a differing opinion than BSK...honestly, I do. Oh, well, good luck to you

Anyone who wants to see "vitriol" needs to go back and read most of the posts made by Captian Hook.
