I apologize for my slow response to your question about the deer but will attempt to answer now. The ranch is included in a very large area that is relatively undeveloped, low density (humans), and lots of woods. In other words, deer have a pretty big sanctuary. Of course, some of the referenced area is hunted but there are several very large neighboring landowners that do not allow hunting (or on a very limited basis). As a result, it is my belief that the overall deer population in the general area is good. While I do not have a wealth of documented historical info to share regarding the deer on our ranch, I have several friends that have owned land in close proximity for many years and, year after year, I am amazed at the bucks that I see taken off of these properties. Yes, these are properties that are properly managed - my point being that the area is certainly capable of producing big bucks. While riding around our place or sitting in blinds, we see a decent number of deer. We only harvested one deer off the ranch last year (a cull buck...nothing special)...low pressure, in other words. PM me if you want more detail as I am glad to share any info that I have. THANKS!
