[QUOTE="Gobble4me757, post: 5735817, member: 22545"] I plan on creating two new 1.5 acre green fields in southwest Alabama on two 15 acre spots we own. I want to do everything possible to make these incredible. I have a guy with a Mulcher coming to clear them out in December. Would love opinions on shape of plot, any fruit/acorn trees to plant etc. Spot 1: all 7-10 year old pines. Should I have them clear the road going south as well as it goes to a hardwood smz? I could keep it thick by hinge cutting those on the road but clearing it would help with the turkeys from the hardwoods to the field etc There are turkeys over here and plan on establishing a nice big perineal clover plot here for the deer and turkeys. Thoughts on adding trees etc? Shooting house at bottom left on 8ft platform just off the field as will likely top a few pines to give me cover.

Most of the deer will come from the south or south east corner as the road is relatively busy up north. Red is the road with the white x as the shooting house. Will round off the point to help with field planting in future. Plan on planting annuals here. Any tips with this one? Extra trees etc? Will have so I can enter/exit without being seen.
