Hunting lease blues

I had a property several years back that this reminds me of. Landowner's son decided to get in the cattle business. Cleared all the fence rows, cleared all the small wood lots, and ruined the best hunting land I ever had.

Yeah I've been searching years for good property to keep long term.. I found it and now this.. I feel your pain.

I think the crops will help after a while but the initial loss of habitat has to hurt. Hope it turns out for the better. They need to leave a field in CRP and can't they get a tax break for that?

Yeah it hurts I thought this place had the potential to sustain 6-8 bird harvests annually.. Yeah I don't know the upper field is rocky(chert) and more suited for cattle or CRP IMO...? We will see how this corn makes?
yea I'm no farmer but I don't know if I've seen many crop fields in chert...bet it will grow over again at some point. And turkeys seem to love cattle farms.

so... you had turkeys until which month? When did they leave according to cameras?

Early 2017 when the majority of the clearing resumed..

True cattle will absolutely ruin a deer hunting spot but if the landowner tss the cattle corn the turkeys come from a long way to flip over those cow patties.
