Heck if it was just me, all I’d need is a place to park my camper or a camp house, and to consistently see deer but there’s usually more factors involved. My pops is 62 and even though our camp is mediocre at best for deer management he’s not going anywhere. The time we spend together is more important than shooting a deer.
I tend to see more deer when I out in the effort to drive to the public land.

We have about 25 guys on 3500 acres and pretty much every one just wants to kill a “club legal buck” or harvest their does and shoot a few pigs along the way. Hard to get 25 guys on the same page for deer management so even though we could grow some big deer, it’s a lot of 3.5 yr old deer that get taken every year and that seems to be ok with most people.
Kind of a shame actually.
