Thee Thicket Hunting Preserve >> Managed Deer Gallery

Deer

This herd has been managed for 10 years by letting the bucks go unless they were to be mounted. Therefore, there are some very nice bucks on property today. To continue having them, we restrict rifle hunting to a few stands, while the best and largest block of woods is dedicated to muzzle loader or shotgun hunting. A buck has to be 8 points or have an 18" antler spread (2" outside the ears). Well fed Honey Holes are available all season long to bow hunters only. We go out of our way to stay out of the deer's way and disturb them as little as possible to maximize your hunting experience. We would never put you in a disturbed area for your sake as well as the deer's.

The disturbance factor is what makes this property special, as you don't have to worry about Club Members having previously been in your hunting area. We have no desire to pressure the deer more than necessary, nor do we wish to have you leave saying that you saw very few nice deer.

On the other hand, we are also at war with our doe population- as we are trying to cut back the buck/doe ratio as much as possible. If you are interested in shooting doe's only, we can't help but put you on them.
