Horntagger:

You seem to have alot of "overkill" in your management plan. I manage alot of land, and I dont think my records are that long, altough I only take care of the wildlife, there are other ranch employees that take care of the other things. But if its working for you, thats all that matters, keep doing what your doing.

The most important records that I take, is the age,score, and weight of all deer that are harvested off the ranch each year. Last year we took 15 bucks, and almost 60 does. I aged and weighted all of them, then scored all the bucks.

The basic records that I keep include info about all game animals taken, the amount of rain we recieve each year in each of the pastures, the amount of money we spend each year on the wildlife, and the amount of money we make each year off the wildlife. There are alot of "little" things that you can record but in the end, it normally dosent mean much. But like I said above, if what your doing is working, then keep at. Good luck with your management plan.
