[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5290855, member: 20583"] I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. My 100 acre woods is entirely over mature hardwoods in hill country. It was a deer desert before the first plot. First year I made a plot, deer moved in and stayed, including several big bucks. As I added plots, a couple mineral sites, a couple water holes, and some trail work, I now have around a dozen does and a dozen bucks calling the place home. It feels like bucks grossly outnumber does but it's because of all the visiting bucks who come through for a day or week at a time. This year I'll be doing some of the timber work. It's a work in progress but results happen pretty dramatically and pretty much immediately, in my experience. That all said, even with a disproportionate amount of deer, you still have to hunt them. I'm doing some work this year to make more cover, more predictable movement, and more concealed access. But it's sure nice being able to pick and choose the deer I want to hunt. I'm like a kid in a room full of Legos, chomping at the bit with ideas. I truly enjoy the work more than the hunt. [/QUOTE]
