I manage my property year-round for whitetail management. So far this year I have done a prescribed burn on 8 acres of woodland habitat, I've sprayed for grass in one of my clover food plots, I've tilled and planted a second food plot, I've mowed the same clover food plot, I've established a new mineral site with 200lbs of mineral on the ground, I've checked trail cams countless times.
My property is a part of a 4100 acre cooperative where all property owners follow QDMA management practices. Nobody shoots any does and we only shoot bucks that are 3.5 years or older. Starting next weekend, all the property owners are participating in a 2 week deer population survey. We map out our entire 4100 acres and we put a trail cam for every 100 acres. The state conservation department supplies a VAST amount of corn for the property owners for free. We pour corn on the ground and set up a trail cam and we count every deer we have on our properties and share the information within the coop so know what our population density, the age structure of our bucks, our buck to doe ratio, our fawn recruitment ratio, etc. So starting next week I will be very busy!
