WHITETAIL PROPERTY CHECKLIST

March Whitetail Property Checklist:

• Trail Camera Pictures: Survival, deer health, and predator presence.​

​

• Shed Hunt: If you're like us it turns into scouting, but keep an eye out for the antlers.​

​

• Explore, scout, and walk the land in a different way noting final observations before green-up.

​

• Trail Camera Tune-Up: Bring them in for maintenance, but put out a few in random spots, you might learn something new.

​

• Timber work: Any type of cutting is fair game now. Temps above freezing mean it’s time for hinge cuts as well.

​

• Cutting Propagation: An effective means for transplanting some species - the wet soils of spring help make it a success.

​

• Timber Stand Improvement: If you've followed the Forest Built for Deer posts, you will know what YOU want for your land.

​

• Frost Seeding: When the last of the snow is melting, get out there with the switchgrass, clover, and other seed that does well with this process.

​

• Soil Tests: Get them in now so you're not scrambling later.

​

• Lime: It's always the time to lime... but immediately following your soil test is a great time to get it done.

​

• Clearings: Get it done once the ground dries just a little and no new growth has started yet. It's 3X the effort after green up.

​

• Predator Hunting or Trapping: Even if it's something new to you - try it! It's fun and will help reduce the impact on your herd.

​

• Learn and Plan: Check Out our website to learn more or contact one of our team members to help you out! Links in bio.
