We completed our survey last weekend. We observed 162 deer sampling 2300ish acres. Estimated deer population of 244. Buck to doe Ratio is good.
Our ranch is 3600 under high fence. We killed a few good deer last year. Payne on here posted the deer the coyotes got last year. We killed 40 does last year.
We fed 40 tons of protein this year. Never leaving the deer without.
My question is what kind of deer density are you guys carrying in south Texas.
I think it should be 1-30 acres if not more.
Our biologists only wanted us to take 10 does and 8 bucks on the entire ranch.
That number seems real low to me. To me you will always be playing catch up the next year to get your numbers back down.
What should be the generic harvest rate every year? 20%?
