Jasper, it sounds lie you have a nice little piece of property to crack some deer on. Just don't over do the changes too much. While deer aren't that skiddish to SOME changes, if you do too much at once you will chase them away from the property.
Yeah, I have been a little hesitant to do to much this first year.
Re-claiming the fields was a project all in its self. Now keeping it mowed is just as challenging lol.
I'm going to make 1 maybe 2 small shooter plots up in the woods, and that is about it for this year.
Next year, I plan to make one of the 2 plots much bigger, and plant some fruit producing trees.
The property is currently loaded with mast producing trees. I just need a little more diversity when it comes to food choices on the property.
