[QUOTE="Thelonegoose, post: 5027218, member: 21115"] I have somewhat emulated your method of 1 buck per year. I only have access to 2 farms totaling 550 acres with 3 of us regularly hunting. I do however invite a few buddies or kids to hunt from time to time and we have had 3 bucks taken in the last 2 years. Two 3.5yo and one 2.5yo. We kill about 2-7 does per year. I am now starting to see more 4.5+yo on our farms regularly. The problem we do have is neighbors that own much smaller tracts that kill just about anything that walks by. Nothing I can do about that and as long as they are having fun and hunting legally, I am happy for them. I think the deer are starting to realize they are safer on our farms than the neighbors. I also keep about 150 acres total as a sanctuary that only gets accessed 1-2 times per year. I don't know if it will work forever but it seems to be working now. At the end of the day, I just try to give the deer, turkey, and quail plenty of cover and food options. [/QUOTE]
