I was listing to THPS Zach's pod cast on nature preseravation. Wow. He made some really good points. You guys should check it out.
It also made me think about the farm I hunt. There is another guy managing it. He cuts hay off it. Plants a food plot. But the deer get over hunted and seems like lack of food and cover they leave come December. Listening to that Pod cast, makes me think the habitat around it could be improved. There is a large chunk of wet woods I have been hunting more and more. But dosent seem to hold deer come December. Seems like Ohio offers assistance with how to manage Forrest for some areas. But not sure if Michigan does? I don't really want to pay someone big bucks to tell me everything to do, because I don't have full control and don't want to waste money on food plots. Just want someone to tell me how I could improve that wooded area to provide more natural food and cover to keep the deer around longer. Anyone have some insight to this?
