In recent years I have hunted exclusively on a TN lease. Decided to take a walk on my mother's 40 acre home place in Alabama yesterday and it's got me wanting to try my hand at creating my own deer paradise.
I'd say the surrounding 1000 acres is hilly land with various stages of plantation pine with your standard rye/oat/clover mix .10 acre food plots. This place has gone pretty well unhunted for years except for the slight possibility that an adjoining lease may have taken a few liberties around unmarked property lines.
Has been logged over a few times so no timber of great value but cutover has now grown so that you can see 75-100 yards in any direction. Some oaks that I'll spare but thinking of clearcutting every acre of ground that's tillable and going back with plantation pine. I should have the luxury of providing low pressure cover as well as food plots as large as I'd like.
Any other advice would be appreciated.
