So there it is, good or bad, you can do everything in your power to help the deer as far as harvesting goes and still not be as productive as your neighbor who you hear shoot every evening. Habitat, if you can control it, is the absolute equalizer.  Our habitat hasn't changed in years, but our quality and quantity has risen over the years. Our habitat and quality of deer hasn't changed in years, Virtually impossible for habitat not to change in years. It usually changes year to year and sometimes significantly even if there has been no cutting, storms, etc to alter the canopy. Simple plant and tree growth, mast production in addition to weather variables change habitat each and every year. IMHO I guess I should have been more specific lol. Our landowner burns our property according to a set schedule and has a set timber harvest rotation. So different sections of our property are in different stages of habitat all the time, but as an overall property the habitat has not changed.
