Georgia Hard Hunter " Use anything and everything the deer might want to give every reason possible to come to your property. If you have any cover don't bushhog it for the food plot constructionthe deer won't do anything but visit if they don't have the securtiy of cover "

I agree, when I had my timber thinned the deer that had been coming through very often quit using the area, atleast durring day light hours anyway.
After 2 years and the understory has thickened back up the deer can now be seen durring day light/shooting hours.

I even noticedafter my property thickened back up and the deer started using it more, the neighbors had their trees removed and the deer slowed way down in how much they moved around on my property durring day light hours. As the neighbors land has started getting grown up in weeds and such the deer have started moving more durring day light.

Leaving plenty of cover is about as important as anything you do.

Thanks
