I have added a couple of small food plots to my property and am now thinking of taking it one step further thus the question what next?
I have 50+ acres that is heavily wooded with mostly beech trees and some red oaks. There is also a small meadow aprox 1 acre that has been planted.
What I'd like to work on now is habitat the deer can use as a core area. I know it'll have to be a thick nasty tangle and still there is no guarentee that the deer will like it, only they will know. I'm sure this will take the cutting of some trees to open up the canopy but once that is done what can I do to cultivate a core area.

Some of my thought on what to plant,
Raspberrys or other vine type browse & Spruce or hemlock

Any other suggestions for what to plant for bedding cover?
