We have been killing around 25 does a year on 2000 acres of planted pines for about 20 years and letting small bucks walk.35 plots 5 buck only and 2 does max on the other plots then they becomes buck only. Plant the best food we can, keep the ph up high so the grass is sweet. soil sample often. No corn. This year we locked our place up the first week of Oct. after planting. No human traffic till opening morning. Sure was nice to walk to my stand on opening morning and see no boot prints or 4 wheeler tracks. Every buck shot must be at least skull mounted and hung in the camp house for everyone to see. This is working for us.
Sounds great, I like it. Ya'll gonna shut it down 2-3 weeks before rut and then bring the shock and awe?
