I think we are getting into semantics here guys. Typically a sanctuary, in the classic sense, is an area that is not hunted. Typically, you don't even do habitat work in it once established. Some folks go in once and do a major habitat update and then make it a sanctuary for the next 20 years. It is pretty typical to hunt around the perimeter of a sanctuary. It is generally, only entered after dark for the purpose of recovering deer that run into it after being shot.

Having said that, everyone has a unique property. Most of us don't have enough acreage to do effective QDM. The area we call a "sanctuary" at our place doesn't even belong to us. We have some neighbors with 150 acres of pines and they don't allow hunting on their place. We do have tracking permission on that property, so we consider it a sanctuary.

Regardless of what we call it, the more we can make mature deer feel unencroached upon, the better.

it is not a sanctuary if you are hunting in it.

The chief of the Supreme sanctuary court has spoken. There will be absolutely no hunting in any sanctuary. It is not a sanctuary if you are hunting it.
Now we need to do some re-districting to move all of our sanctuary boundaries outside of our hunting areas, but we can't get a quorum because some of our hunters fled the area so they don't have to vote.
Maybe it'll be easier just to call the shooting plot areas "low profile hunting units". I always knew that hunting inside a sanctuary was going to get us into trouble. Trouble like this;

If it’s a sanctuary it’s a sanctuary and if you have the patience and skills you can hunt the sanctuary most people don’t have the skills to go into it without blowing the thing up fact is most people aren’t very good hunters and sit on green fields 99% of the time and don’t pay no attention to wind or scent control
