Every time you’d go hunting would see bunch of doe’s, handful bucks and always had a good hunt. The land surrounding us nobody hunted. Then one year the landowner to our south started letting some guys hunt that was friends of his son. They blasted brown it’s down rules then couple years the land west of us gets leased and they have similar mentality. Now 5-6yrs in we rarely will see deer, occasional small bucks and nothing of note on camera. Gonna try some different tactics this year, planting warm season grasses in hayfields, big blue stem and such, gonna plant corn and iron clay peas, putting clover around field edges and food plots, 2 of them going half 30-06 clover. Then even less pressure next couple years and see what happens



Sounds like a waste of money with the neighbors you have



Unfortunately, I agree. You’d be money ahead talking to your neighbors and seeing if y’all can get on the same page management wise.
