Tough on 23 acres unless it is all thick and used as a bedding area. If this is the case your tactics will work to provide them a safe haven. The only trouble is that during the rut all bets are off. Those bucks will roam far more than your 23 acres. Like a few of the guys have said try to slowly work with your neighbors to get the point across. Have informant from QDMA to give to them if they are curious as to what it is all about. I used to hunt an area in central NY that had most of the surrounding landowners practicing 8 point or better with significant doe harvest. They started in 1996 and you could see the change in the antlers nailed up on my friend’s garage from year to year. In the beginning, lots of spikes and fork horns were taken. It went to mostly 6's and 8's and now they are all 8 or better. My friend started it on a small piece of land and gradually more people saw it working and did it. Today there are about 15,000 acres covering many plots of land all practicing one version or another of a selective harvest. There are still a few pockets of camps that shoot any buck but the results of the majority of the land owners have proven it works. You have to start somewhere and I think you are on the right track.
