Jeff, thats a tough call my friend. Isthe original propertyyouve been trying manage, the same one that your neighbors and their family or friends are possibly poaching on? If it is, I would feel it would be extremely difficult to get the end result you are trying to obtain with your ratio's if that is indeed the case, unless you are taking into consideration the poaching kills etc...

At the end of the day,whats more important and realistic to you? How many opportunities do you get to get 200 acres to hunt in your area? What are the chances of you losing the new property in the next year or 2? Would you be better served trying to manage your herd ratios onthe newproperty, basically starting over? I think only you can answer the bottom line. Good luck, thats a tough one.
