This was the first property we bought just for hunting and habitat, like the big woods we had hunted it for years before buying.
It is mixed hardwoods that was logged around twelve years ago lots of hickory in this woods maybe 60%. The other good trees would be red and white oak, walnut and cherry. It is a REALLY thick woods with every kind of thorn and sticker bush and tree growing low in it...it is a mean woods to walk through but full of wildlife. There is a CRP strip around ten fifteen yards wide running around three sides of it that is planted to clovers/chicory and switch grass.
This farm is about five miles from our other, the river is about two miles to the north and there is a good sized creek 3/4 of mile to the south, so after reading on the luck everyone was having putting in small ponds and tanks for wildlife watering holes we dug in a koi pond a couple years ago on the south side in the CRP strip, here is the thread link of that project;

Here is a satellite view of what we are working with;
View from the road today;
There are a few other small woods of from 8-9 acres to 60 acres in the neighborhood surrounded by rotated crop fields. I am in a very high agriculture county in NW Ohio.
