[QUOTE="deerchaser007, post: 754706, member: 1783"] Depends on the habitat outside the core area of the cooperative. If you have 1200 acres in a cooperative,. you manage for 2.5 and up,. and you are able to make the habitat and food sources much better than whats on the outside,. you can draw them deer from outside thru your cooperative area more by offering more. Especially if the focus is more toward winter food sources and good bedding habitat , and thickets for protection while moving thru the area. Of course ,. this is off topic of big horns and management of bucks inside a certain range,. but always has to be considered. My brother learned this this year when a 3.5 year old passed thru we never have seen before nor photoed before. Not by us ,.. or any of us in the cooperative. He had destictive 5 to 6 inch brows ,. but was not very wide so he got a pass by my brother. I would not have done that myself. BUT,.. i strongly feel this buck was out in search of a doe and the area around us made him feel safe to travel thru in daylight hours. It was 8:30 in the morning and the week after thanksgiving,. which seems to be typical for the rut in my area. SO,.. even though you can only manage for your 1200 acres,.. you have a chance to pull some deer from other areas that may be alittle outside that core area. [/QUOTE]
