I don't think it can hurt at all if it is practical and can be done. Do you think it would be better to provide a few 1/2 acre bedding areas or one larger one that is completely off limits?
Excellent question......and I honestly don't know.
What I'd theorize is........creating a few smaller areas "might" attract (strategically placed) bucks to utilize one of them. Creating one, large area would "seem" to benefit MORE deer.....and that (here) means DOES.
I honestly don't know, though. I could actually hurt myself (for buck hunting purposes) by doing this....by introducing more does.
Again....I haven't researched it.....yet.
