Thanks for the response 130woodman. I will be hunting private property with about 2 miles of creek bottom. Along this entire creek bottom there is alfalfa fields so I guess this would be the primary food source since the property owner tells me there are always deer in these fields. I plan to find a location for my tree stand that will overlook the field and also the creek bottom. By the way, I too think the way you do regarding passing on small bucks.
