Managing mature bucks is different from managing for any other deer. It is essential to focus on creating ideal habitat conditions throughout the year, rather than just during hunting season. Several factors can negatively impact the quality of mature buck habitat. This includes human activities such as hunting pressure, habitat destruction, etc. Landowners can use various techniques to improve habitat quality, such as timber management, prescribed burns, and food plot management.

 

Finally, when managing whitetail deer habitat for mature bucks, it is important to consider creating a sanctuary to provide a safe haven for bucks to live and reproduce. This area should be kept off-limits to hunting and human activities so that the bucks can remain undisturbed. Enjoy the show.

As a landowner, it is important to know what your land is worth. You may find yourself asking the questions like,  “how much is my land worth today,” “how much is my land worth per acre,” “how much is timberland worth,” “what is my farmland worth,” “how much is agricultural land worth,” and other such questions. Many factors go in to determining the value of land and seeking out the wisdom of experts is a great place to find the answers to your questions.

Each week, on the Huntin’ Land Podcast, we will bring in various experts to help provide answers to the important questions landowners have.
