We’re taking a boots-on-the-ground look at a major land management transformation: turning timberland into a 15-acre ag field designed to become a central food source for whitetail deer. We discuss the mapping process, timber thinning strategy, exclusion fencing, crop selection, and how this project not only supports wildlife but also helps offset costs through smart timber harvest planning. Whether you’re managing your own hunting property or just love habitat improvement stories, this one’s packed with insight, strategy, and a whole lot of Southern grit.
