Minimum acreage to "manage deer"

Now you're talking money than I have to spend. At 74 I think I will just take what God sends my way.

 

Do you also like even days with no clouds and a NW wind?
I wouldn't worry about spoilage, but tjm. I'm trying to get one in a position TO spoil.

 

Never underestimate the odds of a deer making a gift of itself at your stand , when you're not in it...

Not sure if your age determines changes.
I had some forestry work done last year that increased sightings. And from visits , increased appeal. Cost was about tolerable/comparable compared to my renting equipment , learning it , and doing it.
About the equivalent roughly , of cutting a trail N/S thorough your ridges centers maybe.

Had I been less picky about the shot , I'd have scored well.
But am still delighted to have had the opportunity at a bruiser. A result of that equipment work.
My time not assured as to how many seasons.
About had my last season years ago. No , not due to age.

 

NE ,NW ,or north are good. East and I stay at the house and hunt from the back porch. I have one lane about 400 yards long to watch and once in a while I actually have a shot.

 

Gun season is awesome!

 

This makes me feel better about not having game cams.

 

I'm doing just fine.

 

Another giant hits the dirt on 25 acres. He spent the last 30 days on my property.
