I'll go back to my point for just a moment......
There is no place that i would rather be hunting than where I can barely hear any human activity at all (truck, wheeler,etc.) , if any at all.
Seeing another hunter in the woods where i am spoils my hunt. The hunter's presence may or may not have any affect on the deer movement, but it ruins my mindset.......that's just the way I am.
Thanks for the discussion guys!!

I can completely understand that.

Some times yes and some times no,....I often like to see other hunters in the woods. especially if they are right where I expect em to be! In fact many times I depend on them.....

i agree to the man made food plots but deer or any animal managment is good to me. for example if you see a little buck that looks like he has very good geneticts let him go and breed so there are bigger and better deer in the future for our children and their children. and another thing is if you do managment you might consider predetor control also. just my opion.

With the way this country of ours is being "cut-up" very few get to experience a place such as Chaney Lake! Quite a few years back I was in a club that encompassed over 3K acres which backed up to Nat. Forest and told from the beginning that if you came across a non-member chances are they are lost and to do what you could to help them find their way out.
Now I primarily hunt my own small 100 acres or so property and a few adjoining properties that combined add up to several hundred acres and I love it! The days of hunting massive tracts of land are all but gone{at least in the east} and that is just how it is! Most have no option but to hunt near either farmland or cutovers.
As for my property-I will do as I please and what that is is ever changing! Most if not all has been timbered in the past 30 years or so and I will work with what I have. Do I have any foodplots? Yes. Do I hunt them? Rarely, they are more for seeing what is there and what is not there. I thoroughly enjoy working on those plots as well{tractor time} They make up less than 1% of my property. Which btw is over 90% forest. If your so called managing it includes being selective about when and which trees I cut. Then yes there is more managing of my property.
Anyone that doesn't think the natives that roamed this land before us did not manage the land for their hunting are mistaken.

I will say that planting foodplots to attract deer to you is basically like chumming for fish, IMO......nothing wrong with it, but alot easier than actually fishing structures and landscape where you expect fish to be.....
BH
That may be a fairly correct analogy,...another similarity between the two is that altho you may get more " fish" in general by chumming them...on average the " better fish" will always come from putting in the time and locating the desired structures... I agree.......

I'm with you BH.Land managment is not hunting.
I'm a hunter, not a farmer or a carpenter(shooting houses and so on.)
But, to each his own i guess.
