I just purchased my first home nothing crazy just a single level ranch but it does have 8 acres with about 6 of them behind the house that i plan to hunt. The 6 acres i plan to hunt is covered in hardwoods.A little back ground, I grew up hunting in southern Michigan where farmers always provided deer with plenty to eat and large food plots to hunt over. I need some ideas and information to make my 6 acres more attractive to mature deer. The 6 acres dimensions are 1 wide x 6 deep. It is surrounded on all sides by similar cover with a small 2 track on the very back property line. there is also a little creak just off of my property. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I was thinking about contacting a forester to see if i could sell some trees / get them to make me a spot for a food plot.

I would also like to attract turkeys as well.

Thanks
