Default RE: Anyone own/ manage a parcel < 50 acres for game??

Most of the properties in my area of west central Illinois are smaller tracts in the 40 to 150 acre size. I have been fortunate to "manage" a few of them andeven managed to buy one a few seasons ago. I can honestly say that it is indeed possible to seriously improve the quality and the attractivenss of a small property. The 2 main issues thatI always address firstare harvesting aselected number of Does to improve sex ratios and concentrating on improving the properties nutrition thoughfoodplots and habitat management. In every instance the hunting improvedregardless ofneighbors and their attitudes. Of course, the more you can get neighboring landowners to work with youas a QDM cooperative the results can be amazing! Are their any specific questions you have or any specifics you would like to discuss. It's certainly one of my favorite subjects.
