This hunter has 20 acres of mixed pine, cedar and hardwoods for deer hunting. However, deer are primarily passing through the property without a specific pattern. Watch to see the plan that will provide attractive cover and food as well as create lots of edge, bottlenecks and great blind/stand locations for better deer hunting!

      It’s a great time of year to be in the woods. Reading sign this time of the year can offer many insights to deer movement, the quality of habitat, and health of a deer herd.  Daniel and Clay worked on this property with a diverse habitat. The northern portion appeared to be a mix of pine and cedar with hardwoods on the southern half.  During the summer,  trail cameras took pictures of several  great bucks, but they always seem to disappear once hunting season begins.  
      Part of the work today was flagging off a perimeter around the northern and western edge to provide a visual buffer from a roadway and neighboring properties. This time of the year is the best time to flag such areas for visual screening because as only a few leaves are on the hardwoods and brush.  This allows the maximum view through a timber stand and the exact distance necessary to create a visual screen is easy to determine.
       There is no food or quality cover here. As the cedars, hardwoods, and low-quality pines are removed, more sunlight and water will reach the ground and prescribed fire can be used encourage native grasses and forbs to grow and provide critters both native food and cover.
    Currently, deer are primarily passing through the property.  Once the plan is implemented, there will be attractive cover and food for deer and a reason for them to spend more time here than neighboring properties. Once the native habitat is improved and food plots created, this 20 acres will provide much better hunting opportunities!  We added lots of edge, created bottlenecks, and great blind and stand locations.
