RE: How many guys....
Moho...
You've likely been whereI am in terms of the life stages of a hunter, though (deer). I like where I am, now.....but I'd trade numbers for quality in a minute.....in a couple of years. In fact....it's what I'm trying to accomplish by managing the herd I hunt a little better.
I'd like to get to the point with the herd here......where I see FAR fewer deer....but better ratios. I haven't poken to my biologist about long-term goals....YET. We'll see how the short-term goes, first.
I'm thinking it'll get better and better......and if no more new development takes away their feeding grounds....I hope to have some better ratios and possibly some 130" deer here in 5 years.
That's what I'm working towards.
