We built a fence splitting our property last year. Until that time our cattle had free range on the place. Since we only hunt the west side of our property, we fenced the cattle off and kept them on the east side all fall and winter. Our deer hunting and number of deer we saw improved a great deal last year. Don't get me wrong, we had good success and have harvested many deer and some really nice bucks prior to this, but it seemed to help taking the cattle away. We'll see for sure this season.
