[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5506879, member: 17"] Much depends on the local situation. Every property is unique. Management techniques that work well on one property may not work the same on another. For example, with my unique property situation - where the vast majority of huntable bucks do not live there except during late October through November - we have found that what we kill one year has no relationship to what is on the property the next year. We have killed up to 7 bucks off of 500 acres one year and measured no differences in the buck age structure or antler size the next year. We have also killed no bucks off of the 500 acres and again observed no change in the buck age structure or antler development the next year. Then again, I have worked with clients with larger properties that have more diverse habitat (have all of the habitat deer gravitate towards, both upland oaks and bottomland agriculture), and have seen amazing results from selective buck harvest, [B]especially[/B] efforts towards reducing high-grading. In fact, I would say this has been the most successful management technique I've documented. [/QUOTE]
