Default RE: Lets discuss Deer Size - & Buck Dispersion

If you've been growing food plots and working hard feeding deer it sometimes creates a false sense of "ownership". We have 320 acres with a 7 acre clover field and plans for maybe more but all in all I'd rather have the habitat to create a deer sanctuary that attracts neighboring bucks. Sometimes it's the undulating terrain of a particular tract of land that attracts deer if all the farms in your area are agricultural. What can you really do other than high fence? I wouldn't start killing them for fear of other hunters. Doing your part in restraint will result in some percentage of deer surviving to 2 1/2 years. What is certain is that you can only control your own decisions.
