Whitetail Mecca

Worked on a past clients property today cuttin in new food plots and building tree walls to funnel the deer away from neighbors and into the plots. This is a smaller property, only 22 acres but with the terrain and existing cover, this could definitely become a .

Towards the east side of the property it narrows done to only 160 yrds wide but to draw and hold deer, we cut in a 1/3rd an acre plot on the most level location. On both the north and south side we took the trees that we fell and stacked them to form a wall, 1 for funneling deer and 2 to form more cover for bedding. We left opening on the east and west under perfect tree stand trees that can be hunted in both a west and northwestern wind, predominant wind direction to our area during hunting season.

The 3/4 acre plot on the western side was also tree wall lined so the owner would have a higher probability of seeing the deer enter the long skinny plot. The area in red is an area we cleared last year for them to socialize in, sight in rifles, park, put up a shed etc.... So the west side of this plot we stacked the majority of our downed trees to act as both a visual and sound barrier.

The blue dash lines are trails we cut in for easier travel corridors for both atvs and the deer herd traveling from plots down to the creek for water.

Come late March, the owner is going to broadcast crimson and ladino clover as well as fertilizer from a shoulder mounted spreader.
