landlord
5 year old buck +
I don't know why this took me so long. I bought 50 acres back in 1985. It is mostly low and wet. Either tag alder or some form of swamp grass or sedge surrounded by mature hardwood of maple and oak, on the south border of Chippewa county, Wi. I have seen of got pics of at least one decent buck every year which is probably why I have not looked into improvements until recently. I ran across JIm BRAUKER's book on hinge cutting, and have been hooked ever since. I went down to Indiana this spring for the all things whitetail property walk with Jim Ward, then went to the expo in Madison and saw Tony LaPratt give a speech. I had a consultant walk my land and his plan will be coming soon.
My first job is to screen off my cabin from the rest of the woods, and I got a good start on that. I am changing my access trails to the outside property borders, so I started hinge cutting a screen for these trails and then planted 250 norway spruce into the screen. I have an old snowmobile trail and an area I cut for firewood that I will be turning into foodplots.
