This is a new lease I'm working on but I anticipate keeping it at least another 10 years, plan is my son will take his first game here
There are some pre-existing old logging roads I've cleared/clearing, and gaining access to the nooks and crannies has given me the ability to really start to plan/implement the vision for the future. You have to look at the whole picture for success when managing your resources. I'm looking to develop large "feeding plots" to attract and provide nourishment for a large herd, your environment will be limited to the number of head you can provide a food source for consistently and year-round. You also need smaller "hunting plots" that are close to bedding areas. The closer these smaller plots are and removed from the action will increase the likeliness the big boys feel safe enough to come out during legal hunting hours. There is some pine scrub bedding areas and some thick briars/rhodos on the property but a lot of the old hardwoods have grown up...great for sight lines, not so good for bedding habitats. I'm planning to take some large tracts and burn them off, let them start back with denser vegetation that will provide cover. I always like to include at least one large portion of acreage thats a "sanctuary", a place completely removed from any human intervention. I will have to have some spring/summer plots as well as fall/winter plots that rotate so there is always a food source...no food=no fun.
so to answer your original question lol...cams go where the activity will be
