Oh yeah I don’t disagree with you for sure ! It’s very tuff to control or know what the people around you are doing you can over harvest based on what your seeing and the neighbors could be killing 2 or 3 times that amount.. add in predators, vehicles and normal cause of death and your only getting a general idea of what’s there year to year. just to many variables. For me and what I am looking for in my outdoor time and hunting. It just starts to get to busy and feel like i have another job and takes the fun enjoyment out of what hunting is in my eyes
That’s why it’s beneficial to get to know your neighbors.
Heck, do you hear them shooting a bunch during deer season?
Are you seeing plenty of deer on trail camera or during hunts/scouting?
Are your food plots are “lip height” or are they 6-12” tall?
All this a guy can do from the stand or on his way to/from the stand.
A guy can get as crazy or lazy as he wants in doing this. I’m just trying to help folks out, because there’s much cheaper options to maintain a healthy deer herd without spending a bunch of time and money.
