yes i love the management part of hunting !! so thankful i have our family farm that was left to me by my dad and mom i try to i prove it more every year . appox 80 acres . i manage several other places but keep loosing them to older people people dying off and kids can't wait to sell the farm . when i loose one place, seems like i find another one thank the good lord !!thank you for all you do !!
I am one of those guys in a 120" area. You are absolutely spot on that it is fun to see those 120's. And, occasionally a 135". Thank you for addressing this for us who live in those types of areas. Mid-Michigan, in my case.
Bit of an odd question, but there are a few deer that hang around my backyard and surrounding neighbors' yards but in a rather urban area, there used to be much more open space around for them to deer it up but now the development going on, in 2 directions subdivisions and strip malls ar being built, one side is a 6 lane road and the other side is a densely populated sudivison has seemed to have pushed them onto a 15-20 acre area in and around my backyard. My question, is there anything I can grow for them or do in my yard to help them for a while? I feel bad their home is being turned into a Quiznos or some shit and they seem to be scared of me when I mow the lawn, there is about a half acre of land I don't mow cause there is a lot of trees and uneven ground, could I do more in the unmowed part of my yard? I should add I don't plan on hunting them just give them some relief from having to relocate.

Habitat management is good for the soul.
