RE: Posting land: Mixed emotions
Hey Adams, I would definetly post it. 50 acres is barely enough for one person to hunt a year.
About your QDM. 500 acres + 50 acres is not nearly enough property to implement a QDM program. Without more surrounding property involved, your are "pissin in the wind" as they say. Deer will walk off of your property and be shot instantly by other surrounding, or area hunters. You will labor, feed, and pass on nice smaller bucks, for someone else to shoot.
If you are serious about QDM you must get more property owners actively involved. Good luck.
