Thread: Attracting deer onto your property / farm

Thanks for the suggestions.

I just bought a 50 acre block that is surrounded by forest and has heavy new growth of pines (xmass tree size) and gorse all over it.
Full of deer, pig and other sign because access for hunting is very restricted. No adjacent farms with stock on them or "doc land" just private pine forest all around.

Plan is to turn it into a private hunting and shooting "refuge". Will set up a really good plinking range as well like Hickock 45 has.

Will have to clear tracks, do some (lots of) thinning and also clear and plant some areas where they can feed.

I thought of salt blocks and planting "crops" that self propagate.

Any and all good ideas would be appreciated.

I'd plant some fruit trees for yourself. If it's pine forest you won't get many of the bad pests and there should be plenty of nice fruit.
