I am in SE Indiana and I have taken 40 does off of a 200 acre piece that I huntin the last 4 years. It is split by two counties that are each and 8 doe county. That doesnt count the ones taken by my buddy. There are just a boat load of deer in the area and rough land.
I have not really been seeing any bucks chasing. I am in Switzerland/Jefferson Co. on weekends and Jackson/jennings during the week. I have hunted everyday of the season so far and just passed the 300 hour mark for this hunting season. I have seen lots of does and smaller bucks.
I use stuff called HI Yield it is in a brown bottle it was like 18 bucks for I think it was a 16 ounce bottle. Got it at the farm store. I use one ounce per gallon.
I get 85 per acre for CRP and cash rent some other farm ground for 160 per acre. So I lose money on the CRP. This year I am doing 1/3-2/3 with the grain prices this high. I will also probably not renew my CRP ground. Money is money.
I have a Browning Gold. I shoot a kicks with Nitro ammo and get 300-320 in a 10 inch circle at 40 yards. Call Ray and Nitro ammo and he will tell you what choke and shells to get.
I bought 3 dog houses from Natchez shooting supply last year to put on private land and just leave out. I think they are 54 bucks each. I am 6'5 and can stretch out in them and stand up pretty much. Easy to take down, too.
