A secluded 5 acre field in the middle of the woods sounds good, to me. I'd like for it to contain some species that would hold deer there, thorughout the fall and winter.
It would be really cool if it also had a ground blind nearby.....and you could hunt it every day with Selma Hayek.

Here's my "dream" plot.
About ten acres full of the biggest sweetest white oaks Godmade,loaded down with acorns. Half saw tooth and half "regular" white oaks. Then run a row of low fence through the tract of land and plant chinese yellow honey suckle all the way down the fence. Oh man, you talk about dreams come true.
Side note- Most hunters tend to over look the natural browses that they already have on their property. A little fertlizer on a honeysuckle patch can go a long way.

Honesuckle is very invasive though. It spreads like wildfire. If you don't keep it in check, it gets out of control in no time at all. I just spent a week cutting down a bunch of honeysuckle that was choking out a native prairie on my property.

Deer also love Kudzu, but I would shoot someone who brought Kudzu seeds onto my property. Talk about taking it over. The state of SC really needs to start looking into getting read of the Kudzu. Its taking over.
