[QUOTE="godores, post: 4994022, member: 11979"] Hey all, I'm very new at all this, so I wanted to get some advice. We have 50 acres in Maury/Hickman that we are starting to manage for the first time next year. We are planning on a few food plots and some bedding areas. Here is my dilemma. I am a gun nut and love shooting for sport, and I have a nice range built on the property. The range runs right across a proposed food plot and next to (within 100 yds) of a proposed bedding area. If I only shoot from January to August, will the deer just leave and come back in September when the food plots kick in? Or if I'm only shooting once or twice a month for a few hours, will they return immediately? Would the backstop and targets on the edge of the food plot scare them away since it is so unnatural? Just trying to figure out how to have my cake and eat it too! Thanks for the help. [/QUOTE]
