My thoughts for free range deer.
Age
Food
Genetics
But 1 and 2 are tricky. 5 years old and no nutrition and it’s not grown much. But 3 years old is rarely a “booner” no matter what it eats.
It’s the quota hunt on the public I usually hunt. So I’m sitting this weekend out. Enjoying the first halloween with our baby girl.
You all have a blessed hunt this evening!
Started saddle hunting this year. Have a trophyline ambush pro and two sticks. It’s not bad. But I’m pretty uncomfortable after 2 hours. I’ve not been using a platform and have been standing on the top stick.
Just an hour of deerlight left for the day boys. So read this and put your phone down!
This public land has been really stingy to me since the quota hunt. I’m headed to Alabama for my Poppa’s 80th bday party tomorrow morning. So I’d be thrilled for a doe tonight.

Its a long trip from bullitt to Cumberland county. First deer I have a shot at spike, doe or monster is going in the truck. Can't come out here for a wash. Not a total loss regardless checkbout this geode. My nephew is going to be excited about this.
If you want to sell them separate, have it logged and THEN sell the land. I would at least hope you knew going into it that the timber was going to be sold separately.
