Proline: Where do you live in WV? I am from brooke county in northern panhandle. I am going to be in Morgantown jan 18 for a qdm meeting. Its a tuesday night. I can get you more info if you're interested. If you are close to Motown maybe we could get together and take a look at what you have. I've been member of qdma since 2000 and am the Vice president of our WV branch. 4 years of college in wildlife mgt also.

There are some other things to consider. one how much pressure are you putting on the land during the season? You sad there is a tract of land that is hardly hunted, they could be using this land as a sanctuary if your hunting pressure is to great. Also although 800 acres sounds like alot it still not big enough to hold a mature buck on, they usually roam on roughly 2000 acres. Try culling more does, if the bucks have to look harder for a mate they will will travel more through out day light hous in search of love. QBM is a time intensive project. Go to www.qdma.com for more info on the subject. good luck!

WV...My farm is in Braxton county, in the middle of the state.

We really don't put much pressure on it. We have 2 of us that bowhunt pretty hard and 6 gunhunters for the week. We usually only have 1 or 2 for muzzleloading season and that's about it.

Maybe time is the answer.
