Re: 11 Acre 8 Pointer
Nice!
I'm pretty sure you only need about 50 yards by 1 yard in order to make a hunt exciting!
Nothing better than taking one off your own dirt.
Way to go!

Re: 11 Acre 8 Pointer
I think that with a small property it depends a lot on what's around it. Used to be in a 2,500 acre lease, but decided my little 63 acres was better. Kind of miss hanging out with the guys at the lease, but that wasn't fun any more after we had to break up a fight at the camp before daylight one morning involving a number of big dudes.
If that's your first buck, its a dandy. You can quit now. Just kidding.

Re: 11 Acre 8 Pointer
Congrats on the nice BUCK!
My best producing area is 20 acres right now. I can only hunt an acre at a time with the bow.

Re: 11 Acre 8 Pointer
Congratulations on the nice buck, if you seen the size of the woods I hunt you would think Im crazy. Some of the smallest patches of woods hold big deer, the size of the woods doesn't matter its whats around it that does.

Thats a nice buck. Funny how they'll move through or hind in small places most guys/gals don't think to hunt. Way to go!

Nice post also.
Their is a old saying it is not the size of your parcel it is how you use it that counts.
But this is most often heard from people with small parcels

Re: 11 Acre 8 Pointer
You want to plant crops for deer? You can plant all those food plots with fancy plants but one of the easiest and most effective food plots I've seen is corn. Plant an acre or two and don't harvest it. Gary

Re: 11 Acre 8 Pointer
Congrats on a nice buck! Looks like you have a great hunting spot for many years to come. If you have acorns, you have the best food available, I would worry with anything else!
Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison; And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die. Gen 27:3-4
