Small Parcel Hunting
I recently purchased a piece of property (11 acres). I am curious on how to make this parcel of land more efficient to attract deer. The parcel is nothing but hardwood with spotty pine trees. It does have a lot of Oak trees. The property does run adjacent to to a natural pipe line on top of the mountain (ridge top). I do not have access to big machinery to do a food plot but can take in hand tools if need be. I have been watching some habitat videos on putting in a water hole but there is two small ponds I have seen on aerial images on adjacent properties to both sides of me. What is my best bet to do with this property? I would like to say during our gun season this year there is A LOT of hunting pressure around me as there is a road that runs my property line on the lower side. I did kill a 9 point 15 inch buck during bow season but the deer seem to have disappeared here lately. I am new here so any advice would be great. Thanks.
