Ok the aerial shot is a power line that I've had for several years now. It is and has been a big producer for me since I got the place. I have noticed the deer tend to stay more at each end next to the taller crp grass which I expected. I feel like if I created a smaller more hidden environment for them it would make it even better. Here are also some pics from the house looking either way. I am elevating the house about 8' after the season because I ran out of time this year. The power poles in the pictures are marked with the yellow x's. My thought was to plant the blue boxes with a winter mix or whatever and possibly a strip (the white line) up against the wood line opposite of the shooting house with the same. Then in the black box plant something tall (6' or 7' if it needs to be that high)that they could possibly feed on in the summer but would stay standing in the winter for "cover" in their minds anyway ha ha. Then the next spring I could cut it and plant it all over again if needed. So the couple of questions I have is #1 is this a good set up or would you set it up a little different (strips, small blocks, other) and #2 what would you all do for the screen or tall plants? The total length from end to end is about 600 yards and the house is the red marker on the right side sitting almost half way. Thanks in advance for any input.
