So i just bought a new hunting farm its 80 acres surrounded mostly by ag fields. it was an old tree farm a decade a go and has had no QDM done to it ever. the prior owner killed some nice deer on it with no work or food plots. but, i think i can make it even better. im looking to get winter food and cover for the deer to stick around after all the ag crops are picked. there is a small pond on the south side and a man made trough near the center and i will be adding anohter small water hole on the north side. the tiber is all pine and very dense. it's walk able but barely. everything will need to be no till for the first few years as i spent all my free cash on the land itself. im thinking about putting in buckwheat in the bottom right as a start but think id like to get some switchgrass or a better cover on the timber edges. the bottom left area im not really sure what do to with yet and so im here for ideas. the land is almost all junk grass and weeds with tons of prickly pears, so that will need addressed at some point as well. thanks for a great place to learn and i look forward to hearing differnet ideas
P.S. this is in central Il in sandy soil. i iwll do a Ph test in the next week but im guessing it pretty acidic
