[QUOTE="DoubleRidge, post: 5790673, member: 20594"] I'm late to the conversation...this thread covers multiple topics that are interesting...on the private land we hunt and manage we absolutely have sanctuary or refuge areas...farms around us are hunted but not over pressured....but we still allow deer a place to go without being pressured...basically there are three large blocks we dont put pressure on...but we hunt travel corridors in-between these areas and we do everything possible to keep pressure to a minimum. Our hunting in these travel corridor areas is focused during the rut and maybe a few days in December. As for trail cam locations...we run them on the edge of these thick sanctuary areas where the travel corridors are. Also...we have killed mature bucks before which we dont have pics of...but the majority of mature bucks we kill we have many, many pics of....also, for some bucks we will get summer velvet pics, hard horn pics and occasionally pick up their sheds..."home towners" we call them...and while some bucks absolutely do shift...all bucks dont travel for miles....especially when they have everything they need in one location with minimal pressure.....I think each property (and surrounding properties) are vasting different and trying to manage or hunt every property the same way wont work....over the years we have learned what works for our property and giving deer a place to go with no pressure works for us.
