[QUOTE="BigDave12, post: 5274761, member: 13595"] My current lease is in Bedford County, is only 100 acres in total, has about only 40 acres of “huntable” land, has 3 members (one of which is my teenage son), was not “managed previously nor hunted very much at all, and has 5 food plots (micro plots) on those 40 acres (none larger than 1/2 acre). We have only taken 3 deer off of it since we have had it (3 years total now). Two of those have been mature 8 pointers (one in each of the last 2 seasons) and the other was a doe in 2020 (my son’s first ever bow kill). We didn’t take a deer off it in our first season there. Based upon our observations, we have a fairly balanced buck to doe ratio there now too so harvesting does is not a priority for us there. Maintaining what is working seems to be best for us. [/QUOTE]
