Here is a picture of my Food plot back in 2007. There was as many as 50 deer using this food plot in 2007. It was an unreal sight for us. Since 2007, we have shot .75 does per year off our 475 acre chunk. That's right... 3/4 of a doe per year. I'm trying to figure out why I have very little deer on my property or anywhere in our area. Since 2007 my plots have improved big time, hunting strategy has changed, I've been part of our co-op for 5 years, been doing some timber improvements, etc. I'm fairly aware of what most of the neighbors are shooting and they haven't been going bonkers on the deer. Just frustrated because on paper I should have too many deer. I've been doing way too much work to see this kind of a decline on our property.
