LOL...stinky!

Good post BSK. I think you hit it on the head. Also, something I believe on the young buck dispersal is... it is mother natures way to help cut down on inbreeding. I don't know how true this actually is but it makes sense.

FH...I agree that 2.5+ year olds would probably be full time residents....with the exception of the rut...you know how they can wander. As far as attracting mature bucks, I think you are doing all you can...sounds like you have a real good thing going. You could probably stand to shoot a few more does though. Over the last few seasons, I try and shoot the does that have buck fawns if I have a choice. Whether they end up hanging around or not...who really knows. About the only remedy I can come up with is breaking down an buying 10,000 acres, so they disperse to another part of my own property! Oh yeah, I almost forgot...I work for WorldCom. <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle> Guess that idea's out...
