Gonna give the justs of it and see what y’all think.
750 acres.
South(ish) Texas
Established water on it. (Troughs mainly)
Three comparable neighbor properties that don’t hunt or hunt minimal.
A couple of smaller neighbors that do. But on opposite side of the big non hunting ones.
The place was protein/corn fed for several years then passed couple years not protein fed. No real management criteria nor hunted all that hard.
The question is, Would it be worth even going back into protein sites on this place or would it be just as beneficial to strictly manage what’s shot and improve the herd.
I feel like everyone’s magic answer is always protein but are there situations where the cost isn’t justifiable and you’d be doing just as good to just manage it properly.
