You may want to consider planting browse plants on your property. On my land in WI we planted native Red Dogwood and Sumac. Both grow and spread nicely once established and offer renewable browse as well as cover/bedding. My "honey holes" are in, and on the edges of, the cedar wetlands and the red dogwood really thrives there. This couples with a lot of red and white oak (lots of acorns!) has kept deer visiting fairly regularly through fall winter months.
Be well.
