Managing property for hunting is my passion and I think you can enjoy a lot of satisfaction from doing it right over time. The size of this tract does limit some of what you can do, but depending upon what is around it, I think your efforts should be rewarded.
First of all, the cheapest and probably most effective management tool at your disposal is fire. Fire, of course, is a natural occurrence and Mother Nature welcomes it when it is used properly. You'll eliminate years of ground cover that is likely suffocating the natural food sources that would otherwise be common absent the Smokey Bear mentality that became prevalent over recent generations.
By utilizing a controlled burn in the early spring, you'll allow grasses and other food sources to flourish, increasing the desirability of the property to virtually every game species. You will also gain control of scrub oaks and hardwoods, while simultaneously reducing the risk of a truly damaging summer fire by largely eliminating the accumulated fuel on the ground.
Next, depending on how the property has been managed to date, I'd open it up a bit. A combination of both natural and managed food plots will make the place a highly desirable grocery store for area deer, clearly increasing the carrying capacity of the property. Deer, as you know, love edges; edges of fields, edges between young and old timber, and edges along creeks and rivers. Most states now have more deer than when Columbus discovered America. This is because of the edges and fields that exist today that didn't then. Create some if they aren't there.
Next, cut shooting lanes. Think about a wagon wheel when you do. Plant food plots either in the lanes or separately. Make the plots irregular in shape and about 3-5 acres in size. Don't get them too close to each other and likely have about 3 of them on this place. It will take you 2-3 years to get them right with the proper soil testing as you get the PH and minerals levels where they need to be. I wouldn't try to worry too much about summer plots (high protein plots such as iron clay peas) as trophy management will be difficult on your own unless everything around the property isn't hunted or already enjoys QDM principles. As a result, I'd focus on crimson clover planted in early September and corn if you have access to the equipment and resources.
Consistent and focused management efforts can pay big dividends to a sportsman. Every big deer you shoot, every beautiful sunset you enjoy, every little fawn you spot in the early summer,and every day you enjoy wandering around the place throughout the years should beviewed as a blessing and a return on your work and investment.
