Tsi entire property?

Are you rifle hunting any? Like @bigboreblr said, that powerline could be something to make use of. I'd thin that southerly side to get some more light to it. Cut out the maples and hickories on that side and leave some of your best producing white oaks. That right of way gives you a little over an acre without widening it. You could make some bedding areas coming off of it on those ridges coming off the north side of it, again cutting hickories, maples, and leaving the best producing oaks. Here's a Lidar view of your property with the powerline drawn in and I shaded the southerly aspect slopes. If your winds are predominantly west, southwest, that makes the deer feel safe moving from the bedding to it with those winds. Get to a stand that blows your scent just off their bedding and approach to the food.

Yes I rifle hunt it. Are u talking about thinning the southerly side of the power line? Are the red circles kinda where u are talking about bedding areas?

This is just a rough idea of what comes to mind for me. The yellow would be where I would thin for the sunlight to reach the powerline. If you stand on the powerline at about 9 am an then in the afternoon, you should be able to see where the shade is being thrown and thin some trees out to open the powerline to more sun.
