BSK-mineral sites

[landman]

I know the old rule of thumb is one per 80 acres,
but of a tract that is used heavily as a transitional
property? Large river bottoms that the deer move
In and out of to feed up on to high ground , what do you
think of increasing that number?

Deer move thru the hardwoods ridges and hollows
some bedding but many moving on to another tract .
TCs show some deer use daily, some monthly
I'm looking at 6-8 on 300 acres.

I have no problem with a higher density of sites. Certainly does no harm.

The only potential downside is needing more cameras to cover all the sites IF you are going to run a summer census on those mineral sites.
