agross Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 My father has a place off of 235 in harpursville outside coventry. I try to at least shoot 8's or better but i dont know about anyone else. Good luck in your QDM. We only have 30 acres and cant imagine it doing any good but i am sticking to my guns.

johnnydirt Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I have a place in afton and I can tell you that by me locals shoot anything and everything. Rules at my place 1.you must take a doe before you can take a buck 2.eight points or better 3.must be at least 3 years old In addition to my food plots I plant at least twenty trees a year.oaks,cedars,honey locust and other native species.if you follow basic guidelines and really stick to them you will see improvements.

cboy18 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I have done it more or less for the last three yrs. Mature deer only. 190 ac. Seems like the right idea. Increase avg. age of herd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveB Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Just curious as to what you consider a mature deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cboy18 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I would consider long face does mature and bucks more by body shape/size and mass of antlers rather than a set number of pts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyantler Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I would consider long face does mature and bucks more by body shape/size and mass of antlers rather than a set number of pts. Sounds good to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
