I started hunting in that general area back in the late 80s. Based on past experience, wIth it only being 825 acres in that Silas, Gilbertown, Toxey, Needham, Butler, area, your success or failure in your management plan is going to be 90-95% based solely on who you have for neighbors. Right property, in the right location, with the right neighbors, you’re golden. Right property, right location, wrong neighbors, you’re just beating your head up against a wall trying to Intensively manage for anything. You are 100% correct though, there are some very fine bucks killed in that general area each and every year, but they are being killed in very specific areas, on very specific properties. Hopefully your new lease is a good one. Sounds like you’ve got a solid plan. Best of luck and keep us posted on how it works out.
