Yes, this is a problem. We started with nothing but trees 6 years ago. Paid to have power run, dug well. Used a trailer to hunt out of for 5 years. Let me be clear on this part. This past year my DAD paid for me to have this cabin built on our land. Me and my dad own the land but I had no money for a structure. My Mom wanted one for a getaway from New Orleans for many reasons including Hurricanes. I had an architect buddy draw me up some plans; we tweaked it and I laid it out exactly how I wanted it. It was much easier spending my dads money than mine. Here is what we ended up with. I am happy with the outcome, but it took me a year to get it the way I wanted it, with lots if issues in between. We have come along way, we had no food plots now we have maybe 10 ac worth of food plots. First couple of years hard to kill anything now one son killed a nice buck 2 years back and the other son killed 3 deer last year. It has been a lot of work managing this land but I do really enjoy it. Now I need to find and cultivate the right spot for this 3Gun Course.
That's a fantastic looking cabin! Food plots certainly help attract game. My food plots are about 10 acres so far, but I'm going to expand this year with some experimental plantings. Our hunting/ fishing forum has a deer hunting contest every year, with some great prizes to the winner. Be sure an enter!
