[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5364476, member: 17"] Didn't want to highjack the Management thread, so You wrote: "[I]I've been involved with the management of several thousand contiguous acres now for about two decades. A reasonable expectation is for hunters to harvest one buck 3 1/2 or older per 300 acres, and this is under a high level QDM-type program where less than 10% of the bucks killed are younger than 3 1/2. Most bucks 3 1/2 or older with an above average rack do get killed by the hunters.[/I]" Those are some pretty impressive stats. On average, we only kill a 3 1/2+ year-old buck per 380 acres. But then only 2 of the 5-6 hunters that hunt the property each year will hold off for a 3 1/2+ buck. The rest will shoot the first decent 2 1/2+ they see. I'm also impressed the hunters on your lease kill most of the top-end 3 1/2s. The hunters on my place over the last 20 years have only been able to kill around 16% of the 3 1/2+ year-old bucks we know exist (through photo census). [/QUOTE]
