Have a hunting property in Gilboa area. Deer hunting is really on the decline in the region. Ive been trying to do my best to increase the deer movement in my area.
To help you get a better understanding my property is a 30 acre lot. the property goes as follows : 5 acre plot of open field
(nothing planted, cabin is located in this field), a thin tree line, followed by another back field. After the backfield is 20 acres of downhill woods. Mixture of oak and cedars. Every so often we get acorns, but not always.
I planted 4 crab apple trees in the back field. I am also in the process of planting a 1.5 acre clover field.
I have a corn feeder set up in the woods and two mineral licks along the runs within the woods.
I also have a camera set up along the thin tree line inbetween the front and back field and a feeder near the corn feeder.
Any ideas on my set up? Suggestions?
