I agree that 100 acres is definitly not enough to control a deer heard in your area. Perfect example: The family property I hunt is almost 600 acres. This property is surounded by thousands of acres of Rockview Corrections ground. About 10 years ago, we select cut about half our property to improve habitat. Also, being that my uncle is rather wealthy to say the least, he spends between 8-10 grand a year on seed and food plots. Needless to say, we have a lot of food all year for the deer. But, a lot of the bucks and deer for the matter make daily trips on and off our property from Rockviews ground. For one reason or another, the like that ground across the line, especially for bedding. We manage our property and other than the couple kids the hunt with us, we only try to take decent 8 points. The last few years, we have killed on average of about 14 or so decent 8 points, a scrub rack or two and usually one or exceptional animals in the 140 class or better. I attribute this only to use being surounded by no hunting ground of Rockview mostly. Without it there, 600 acres would be hard pressed to have the success we have IMO.

Another point I would like to make. We hunt and harvest most of the bucks during the rut. These bucks are roaming, sometimes miles in search of does. Sure the does will mostly be concentrated around food and bedding for the most part, but once the rut kicks into high gear, who knows were they will turn up.
