I own a portion of a 30 acre cedar swamp. Not a huge chunk but it holds deer. We've now shot or shot at a 3, and 2-4 year olds coming or going from this habitat, this year. Damn good stuff
U have any luck tree? I got your message. I'm super busy to meet, but if u send me some aerials of your property I can throw u some suggestions.
I just personally think this habitat stuff is really simple. The most important thing is mature bucks need thick habitat and most importantly not being disturbed. Does and young bucks need thick habitat too, but they tolerate being kicked up or scared a little more than the big bucks.
