Cold Springs hunting club. It's at the southern tip of Cullman. It's about 3000 acres. I hate you boys don't believe me but it's hard not to see deer on every hunt and it's usually multiple deer. The plots are always ate down to nothing
I didn't say I didn't believe you. Just that I didn't know anyone with that experience. I'm about 20 miles from you. Every one of my plots need mowing.
Probably not 20. More like 10 as the crow flies.
Bucknaked is absolutely correct. That club is completely full of deer. You will see multiple deer I would say 98% of the time. The greenfields look like putting greens throughout the entire year. It wouldn't surprise me if a biologist told them to kill 20 does a year for many years. On the other hand myself and 2 other guys lease just under 600 acers in the southern part of cullman county and our numbers are not like that. We have had the property for 12 years and the change we have experienced I think reflects what doe management planting good fields TRIGGER CONTROL on bucks and improving the habitat to the best of our ability. I would say the first trail cameras we ran when we first obtained the property in my opinion were low deer numbers smaller body weight deer and bucks racks that reflected poor nutrition. Back then I would say we would see deer maybe 30%-40% of our hunts and 7 or 8 does to 1 buck. We saw virtually no signs of a rut. Now I would say our trail cams show a much healthier heard in general bigger does almost all does producing twins and larger buck weights and much higher quality racks. Also I would say our sightings are somewhere around seeing deer 80-85 percent of our hunts and most of those multiple deer. We now see a fairly good rut. But to me this just proves that every property is different our property is maybe 10 min from the club bucknaked is talking about where they could take 20 does a year we typically take 2. obviously there is an acerage difference but the deer numbers are drastically different.
