swampthing; I was reading an article that said deer need to consume 6-8 lb. of food each day for each 100 lb. of body weight. Unless your 150 acres is tillable and planted as crops you'll have a hard time producing enough feed for the deer populations that you're hoping for. An example would be for 100 deer averaging 150 lb: each deer would need about 10 lb of feed per day x 365 days = 3650 lb. So you need to produce 3650 x 100 deer = 365,000 lb (180 ton) of feed to look after these deer year round.
