RE: Deer under pressure?
 

Good reply duke. That is what I was looking for.

The question was not "how much pressure"? but, "how many believe their deer are under pressure"?

RE: Deer under pressure?
 

Hunters per acre of huntable habitat is a good indication of hunting pressure. Someonewho is not used to seeing many hunters may feel pressured sharing 300 acres with 2 other guys where as the next guy may be ecstatic to be in that position.

I am just saying without a basis of comparison, it is all up to ones interpretation of what pressure is.

So the smaller the acreage hunted, Scott......potentially the more ""Pressure"?

Interesting.

RE: Deer under pressure?
 

That is kinda what I was saying buckeye. I believe 2 people on 40 acres is not a lot of pressure if hunted right. But, If one or the other is not hunting "right", I believe the deer will do strange and uncooperative things.

RE: Deer under pressure?
 

That isn't what I am saying... Hunter per huntable acre defines pressure

100 guys on 1000 acres or 10 guys on 10 different 100 acre properties equals the same amount of pressure.

RE: Deer under pressure?
 

But for the record.. I don't cry about the pressure I see and hunt with. I never try to compare myself with guys from PA or MI... never hunted there.

But I do hunt some public ground where its not uncommon to have 10-20 other guys on a 300 acre piece. Or 10 guys always (as law provides) on a 200 acre piece.

I call this heavy pressure. But I hunt it just the same. And I don't cry about it.

RE: Deer under pressure?
 

So one hunter to 10 acres and one hunter to 100 acres is the same?

RE: Deer under pressure?
 

So would you say that 40 acres hunted by one man with no "inside" pressure (other than the one man)would be a good scenario?

RE: Deer under pressure?
 

1 hunter to 10 acres = 10% of the land is being hunted, per se

one hunter to 100 acres = 1% of the land being hunted

all about percentages

LT....how do you read this.....and come up with what you said??:)
