ChasinTail Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 If I dont have to relocate for work (previous post), I have planned on improving my small piece of property. I have a mixture of swamp, palmetto flat, planted field, and pine forest. I was wanting to plant some sort of plot along with some possible shooting lanes and easier access for entering the woods in the am. I have always hunted "el natural" without changing the enviroment, but feel it is time to step up the commitment to serious hunting. I would like any ideas or proven tactics if anyone is willing to offer. If you need any more specifics, just let me know. Thanks ahead of time!

wtnhunt Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Implementing food plots works well for improving available nutrition for the wildlife in your area. For perennials, I prefer planting a mix of clovers and chickory. Usually plant beans and grains here for annuals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdoc Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 The most important part is having the deer feel safe on your property. That is setting aside part of the land as a sanctuary. A place where deer can stay undisturbed. IMO that is more important than food plots. Creating bedding areas if needed is also a way of improving your property. Food plots are a great step in increasing deer usage on your property. For fall plantings it's hard to beat a mix of wheat, oats, winter peas, and brassicas.
