nodog actually hit on something there. I was thinking of planting several rows of evergreens around my property, kinda concealing it, and then the honesuckly vines would add additional cover as well.
Plant them in a way that creates funnels and with stand placements in mind making it possible to get to unseen and unheard. The evergreens would be a good late season site as the deer will move into them when it gets cold.

You could just do what another poster said and drop some trees to let light in. The under growth will go faster than the evergreens. Do this with the same thoughts as above. I dropped a big ash tree on my 5 acre plot and with in days a large bodied buck move into it. I was unaware of it until to late. I plan on doing it more deliberately this season and going to wait to drop them until they are filled out as deer like to feed on the tops (they'll stay green all summer). A natural food plot and thick cover all in one shot.
