The first question you have to ask yourself is how does the 6 acres you own fit in with available deer habitat around you? Where is there cover, where is there forage, where are the travel corridors, and where is there water. Assess what you have in relationship to what is around you and try to work with what habitat is on your land.

Creating small forage areas, for instance near a travel corridor, is not a bad idea. You might want to look at what food is available and provide something different that fits in with the deer's nutritional needs. Small food plots can cover a lot of bases, and they will be utilized, even if they aren't the main food supply in the area.

Congratulations on your new home and good luck hunting on your own land!
