[QUOTE="Henry, post: 5632972, member: 23329"] To answer the op's question on how the deer pop is doing: The 200 acres we bought had not been hunted for 6 years and the guy who passed away spent 15 years developing it for deer. My wife and I took two 8 point, 1 button buck, and 1 fork buck along with 2 mature doe. While mowing Thursday for about 3 hours, I saw two watching me when I mowed the path around the pond and 1 crossed from hay field to hay field in front of me while I was mowing the edges of the lane. My wife said she saw another deer watching me mowing from another area. There was a mom and twins and a mom with triplets from last summer survive hunting season so we were happy to see that. I don't see it as an issue, but there is one change I've been told about and that is that the son of the farmer at the back of our property plans to do food plots. He asked to be on our property because "we want to know where the deer go and...". I said no because I was tired of being shot at. Quite frankly, I do not want to have people walking my property and messing up a good thing...I live here. So, now the cameras will need to monitor the property line back there. Hopefully they won't decide to go messing around in the buck living room out past the beaver dam in the lowlands. One issue I do need to figure out is how to fix where the creek washed out land beside the culvert. We cannot drive to that field and would not be able to get a deer out. Hopefully this doesn't change how the deer move through the area, but it used to have a lot of deer prints there. [B]If I could figure out how to attach a video, any help would be appreciated (it's currently in VCL format)[/B], I would share what one of the trail cams took from one of our blinds on Jan 8. I think the herd is doing well here even while it's missing the 6 we took. This Fall we plan to watch a lot and shoot very little...plan to switch to bow. You might be able to download the video?
