The overwhelming majority of our clients hunt small farms. Many of these hunters primarily hunt 50 acres or less. We have tactics and strategies that can help any small land owner have success on their property. There are a few key aspects your small parcel needs in order to draw in that mature buck.
- Be the diamond in the rough
Look at the surrounding habitat and focus on what its lacking. Add that feature to your property and watch your deer numbers grow.
2) Deer are creatures of edge
A small parcel with diversity and edge is much more powerful than a large property with no diversity. Create edge using habitat improvement techniques specific to you property to
optimize deer use.
3) Make your 50 feel like 500
50 acres full of mature timber where you can see from one border to another is a deer desert. Create cover that relates to your location to make your property hunt like a 500 acre parcel.
4) Assemble habitat improvements that define movement
Creating habitat improvements such as bedding areas, travel corridors and food plots can be the most affective way to optimize your hunting potential. Assembling these improvements in a specific manner is just as important. Add these features to your property in a way that will enhance your buck bedding locations in order to house a mature buck.
5) HUNT SMART
This is bold for a reason. This is the most important aspect for any parcel, especially a small one. Hunting optimal days in the correct location is the only way to hold deer on your property all season long. Great habitat can be ruined with poor hunting tactics. However, a property without defined movement can seem impossible to hunt. They go hand in hand, define the movement in order to hunt smart. Hunt smart in order to have defined movement.
