Another great video guys, keep up the good work. This year will be the first year for food plots on my property. Doing soil samples and planting later on. I've been hunting it for 7 years now and there are ag fields all around and a multitude of deer. So far all my bucks are 130's -140's and let the biggest bucks go but they all end up getting harvested by somebody else the same year. My goal is that my brother can harvest a booner with his bow some day. He and I let a bigger buck than the one I got last year walk in hopes it would live another year and it wandered into another hunters path the next day on neighbors. Like you say shrinking their travel area with food and low pressure is paramount.
I'm often blown away that more people don't think of water as one of the number one key draws for deer. My property has a creek running through it so it's not that big of a deal but there is also a small pond, and you might be surprised how little I see the deer drink from the creek and how much more are going to that pond first. I'm not disagreeing with the contents of this video simply wanting to note that he never mentioned if there is any water on the property or the neighbors. Deer gotta drink!
I just bought 44 acres in Tenn , good info for a first time farm owner . Thank you
