A 2 year old buck that starts feeding at a feeder will still use that feeder at 6 years old IF you don’t pressure them. Same goes for food plots. We have foodplots that haven’t had but one deer shot in them in 5 years. I can first hand tell you what reducing pressure and trigger constraints can do to a property. Matt Brock can attest. It’s taken 6 years but we have completely turned a piece of property around 180 degrees. Six years ago I saw 1 deer on roughly 600 acres THE WHOLE SEASON. 1 deer! But the property had a good layout and decent genetics. So I kept it and spent a lot of time, blood and sweat to get things right.

It’s beginning to pay off.
