[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5214201, member: 17"] And there's the rub. In much of TN, intense habitat management usually means intense timber management. Honestly, the "perfect" property only has 50% timber. The rest would be in a combination of early stage regrowth, rough overgrown fields, oak or pine savannah, and agriculture. Hard to produce that in ridge-and-hollow hardwoods, but something close can be done with enough time, energy and unfortunately, money. It really isn't about changing the seasonal ranges of bucks (although great habitat can have an influence on that). It's more about controlling where a buck is during legal hunting hours. If you can persuade him to spend most of his daylight hours hiding in the sanctuaries you've provided for him, you've upped his odds of living another year. [/QUOTE]
