5 year old buck +
I purchased 25 acres in Iowa in '18. It is roughly half tillable half timber. I have learned and applied many things from this forum and want to keep track of them here and show the many of you that have helped me how things are going. Hopefully it will be a picture rich thread. Thanks to you all!
The main objectives in order are to;
1-attract deer (improve attraction)
2-attract mature bucks
3-get said mature bucks through shotgun seasons to 5 years of age (I understand I wont hold deer very long) I just want them to seek refuge here during high pressure times to hopefully survive the army
4-shoot mature bucks
5-Watch planted trees grow/produce nuts, fruit and cover
6-provide good hunting opportunities for family
7-pickup sheds
8-build soil
This first picture is a detailed view of where things are and the outline of the property. The property is not very big but it is surrounded by a couple 700-1000 acre parcels to the northwest that have very limited pressure.
And here is the "big" picture.
