2. High Quality food year round (protein is one part of this)
3. proper heard numbers and ratios (do you want big deer or lots of deer, hard to have both in many areas)
4. proper habitat set up in the proper arrangement
5. genetics
There is no magic pill to grow 160s, but if you do all you can to give your property everything a deer needs you will maximize the potential for the deer on your property. Since you cant change the genetics on a place that is low fence then throw it out the window and work with the other 4 and you will see a huge improvement in your deer BUT it will take 5 years or more before you really see a measurable difference in most cases.
