CNC and Goatkiller: to address a couple of points y’all raised…and I always knew y’all were best friends anyhow…🤣

Weights have decreased about 5-10% from when I first joined, which would have been 2018-2019 season.

When I say we have plenty of deer, we’re above average for the surrounding area. You can take it from me, or several others here on this site that have a hand in what we’re doing, our browsing pressure is intense on fields.

I think we have 2 problems…

1) Hunting Pressure which leads to less deer sightings
2) Coyotes on fawning

I don’t know what to do about the decrease in weights. Our fields show more pressure than what I remember seeing that first year but deer sightings overall are down. And I’m not a food plot sitter.

We made an effort this year to correct some bucks that were being shot that shouldn’t be. It’s been marginally successful, but we’re heading in the right direction.

Both of those (pressure and coyotes) are something we can try to correct.
