5 year old buck +
Well I’m new here but figured I’d start with a intro and the beginning of a property tour. I’m 34 years old and have been hunting my whole life. I work in a papermill on a paper machine and I also work as one of the on-site EMTS. Prior to this job I worked in an emergency room as a medic for 10 years. Anyway In 2020 I purchased 34 acres just outside of West Point, va. As stated I have hunted my whole life but the excitement and possibilities of owning land of my own is all new to me. I purchased this land in May of 2020.
This property is adjacent to two pieces that I already hunt with the hunt club which also gave me some prior knowledge of deer movement. To say that this property was neglected would be an understatement.
The property is the two chunks in the middle of the picture.
This property is mostly an 8-10 year old clearcut that has regenerated although I do have some white oaks as well as red oaks on the fringes and in the point that sticks out into the cutover.
I started by clearing an entrance into the property as even that was neglected. I also got a forestry mulcher to come in and open up approximately an acre in the front and 20 -25 yards wide around the point to attempt my first food plots.
After the front got cleared.
A view of the opening placed around the point in the cutover. This idea would be short lived as after one season I decided I wanted more of a foodplot centrally in the property.
