[QUOTE="Popcorn, post: 5777738, member: 20151"] All of this^^^^ I could write a book on just this, a thick book! 10 years from a pigs ear to a shining star (in my book). The property sold 2 years ago, new owners limited improvements and largely want to just let it exist. Yet they are killing a limited number of bucks better than we ever did. These bucks are 5,6,7 years old so they are deer that benefited from our improvements and management and are evidence of what 12 years can do. From 130 ish average to 2 bucks in high 160’s and 2 in high to mid 170’s plus a high 150’s 8 pointer during the last 2 years. I also witnessed a transition from a doe sink with few resident bucks to a buck heavy property. Everything was linked to improved food quality and ample cover over a period long enough to have afforded multiple generations to have experienced dramatic improvements in health and safety. There may well be 4 more years of results to be attributable (to some degree) to our work there. [/QUOTE]
