You can get big BG by feeding and having the number of BG reduced - in three acres, lotsa small LMB are your best bet for that. IME HSB are not as good a predator for BG as LMB are, BUT you can get great big HSB via feeding. Consider small, crowded LMB and trophy BG and trophy HSB. I think you could do that.
