I am really enjoying your channel! I like the way that you hunt and care for deer and not just go out for a slaughter. I was wondering, how large to you think your deer herd is? How many deer do you harvest from your proving grounds? Keep it up and I look forward to seeing some great action this coming season!

Matt,

We’ve worked for 13 years to improve the habitat and balance the predator/prey relationship.  This has resulted a great deer herd with about 100 deer per square mile.  We will attempt to reduce the number of deer by harvesting two does per 100 acres this fall. We love venison so this is good news!

Enjoy creation!
