We get too narrowly focused sometimes on trying to manage for just one specie (deer) that we forget that they exist within a much bigger design…..There’s a lot more links in the chain to building a complete “home” or ecosystem to which the deer lives within. If we want things to truly thrive then we have to manage for the whole picture and then pull out that one specie from it that we may want to micromanage a little more intensely. You still need to “paint the rest of the picture” around it though. THAT is where I believe you have the potential of producing the best results.

At the end of the day we are first and foremost soil and forage managers..........
