I recently purchased a small (43 acre) hunting property. After talking with many of the neighboring property owners it appears that none of the surrounding properties (all between 50 and 100 acres) hunt. The area is very heavily doe populated which has me wanting to make this season mainly a doe thinning year since I already got a nice buck opening day of muzzleloader. Will I even notice any difference in the buck/doe ratio over the course of a couple years if I am the only one thinning out doe, or even hunting for that matter? For what its worth, many of the surrounding properties are mainly tobacco farms. I plan on planting oaks, persimmons, and chestnuts this spring along with food plots year around. My property has 3 ponds, two of which are spring fed.
