My main point was that you can drive an electric golf cart, only hunt one day a week, and shoot nothing but 5 yr old deer, and it may not pay off like you think. If your neighbor has a nice new clear cut , he's gonna kill more (and better) deer than you do in a 20 yr old pine plantation that has been managed for timber only.
I've seen it, done it, and am still doing it. I've been really good to deer and I've hammered their ass. Nothing I've done with my trigger has had the effect on them like I've seen with habitat change. I was going through some old 8mm film from 2000-2003 where I had bucks on video making scrapes in one of my greenfields, now you can't hardly buy a deer there in the daytime. 26 yr old pines are there now with no browse. They come through at night to eat a little, but they don't stay there. Just a little first hand FYI.
Everything woke turns to shucks
