Tips to Improve Deer Habitat on Your Hunting Land

Keep in mind game-animal behavior when maintaining private hunting land.

October 02, 2023 By Game & Fish Staff

Improving deer habitat on private hunting land comes down to three basic needs: 1. Cover (for bedding and places to find safety); 2. Food sources (food plots, mast trees); and 3. Water sources. Addressing these three things in your land maintenance plan will not only improve habitat for whitetails but also for wildlife in general. In the video above, Game & Fish Editorial Director Adam Heggenstaller shares some tips to keep in mind when working the land. Sponsored by Gumout Performance Additives.
