Let me rephrase, unless the 20 acre hunters are outlaws there is no way they can really put a dent in 1000 acre landowners herd.
Especially someone with 100k a year to spend? Cmon man.
Again, you guys act like you’ve found the magic bullet. A corn pile. Better habitat? Check. Less pressure? Check.
If I have 100k a year to spend on pine goats and have to build a fence over 20 acres then I need new hired help…
You’re basing this opinion on the assumption that deer won’t travel if you provide all their needs. Well, they do, and a lot as a matter of fact. It’s also not necessarily he impact one 20 acre landowner has. It’s the cumulative affect of multiple neighbors. 1000 acres in nothing when managing for deer. You are totally at the mercy of your neighbors. You can’t manage 1000 acres with neighbors who aren’t on the same page. All these so called whitetail habitat experts who are pushing these ideas on the masses with their small land management practices are very deceiving. It works if you have your neighbors help. If you don’t, there’s nothing you can do to keep deer on your place without visiting other properties, except a fence.
