With you getting 200 each or together on more than one occasion, how long before you shoot out that plot of land ?

In the picture DAA posted we were shooting 180-440 yards. 200 would be a combined total. I have been in a group of 2-4 shooters and have killed over 200 in a day 3 times. Usually large number days are in May when the young are out and the property has not been hunted for a year or two.
Some of the land I hunt then and now is never depleted due to the rock canyon walls that it runs along. If you do hunt it hard (every two weeks or so) it fills back in with chucks upstream and down on both sides.
It is always a delicate balancing act to keep the landowner pleased with your culling and still leave seed for the following trips or years.
My current locations are typically 165-250 yard shooting. You do get an occasional close shot and you are able to stretch things out to 500 or more if you wish.
