In this first video in our new "15-Acre Fixer-Upper" series, NDA Communications Manager Brian Grossman introduces you to his new small acreage property that he bought back in December of 2020. We take a look at the layout of the property as well as Brian's big-picture goals for improving the habitat and deer hunting. In subsequent videos, we will dive into specific projects on the property to help achieve those big-picture goals.

I love this idea and showing the whole process for a property that is attainable for a lot of hunters. It is my dream to eventually have something like this that is 15-20 acres for us to also live on....one day.

Started the same process 7 years ago on my 40 acres in Mississippi. Look forward to learning from your work. This could be very helpful project for us small plot land owners. Keep up this good work.

Thanks Michael. We hope it is helpful for small plot landowners!

I'm 15 from Mississippi according to my math with my job now if I only buy gas I should be able to get 15 acres by 18 probably build myself a very small house on it

I got 38 ac in NW middle west GA. (probably close to you) Got a lot of hardwoods a big creek and dense trees. 5 -6 years ago I had a guy with a skid steer bush hog cut all the privet and small trees. It opened things up but I need to get some bigger trees cut to open things up. 4-5 years ago I had a mulcher in another area and it opened things up well. Deer love my place. I plant a small .5-1 ac food plot in clover and whatever else. I have planted crab apples, pears, figs (they love them) and plums as well as regular apples and peaches for me if I can get some. I want to do some of the mineral stumps. I have enjoyed yalls videos and look forward to learning. hearing what yall are doing. Bit of advise, unless you are going to trap and or hunt the coons and squirrels don't feed the deer, their population will explode. I do only plots and natural browse now.

@jimmythompson1650 2 года назад

I'm doing something very similar on 18 acres so I'm really excited to go on this adventure with you. Thanks

@leepickler7286 2 года назад

Looking forward to the next videos. Good to see projects in the south that will relate more to my property in NC.

@DeerAssociation 2 года назад

Thanks for watching, Lee, and we hope the videos can provide some ideas that will help with your property in NC!

@kathmandu1575 2 года назад

Great video. I'd like to see the process overall - good luck!

@kapperoutdoors 2 года назад

Looking forward to this project and following along! That 15 lays out very, very nicely no doubt about that. Best of luck. We're going to take on a new one ourselves here but I like watching others do this kind of stuff. Take care thanks

@DeerAssociation 2 года назад

Thanks for watching and for the positive feedback. We appreciate it!

@scrappydappy2827 2 года назад

I’m in the process of the doing this on my 60 acres. Will be following song with your improvements.

@whitetailhabitatandhunting 2 года назад

You should plant a browse plot there! That would be a great spot

@jeremyfoss505 2 года назад

Excited to follow along on this series! You don't need a ton of acreage, to make the magic happen! :)

@MGH5016 2 года назад

Brian - Looking forward to the series. Soon moving to some family property outside Columbus and trying to learn all I can from NDA about habitat management so this really helps. Roughly where is your property?

@DeerAssociation 2 года назад

Thanks for checking out the video! I am in Upson County just south of Thomaston - Brian

@MGH5016 2 года назад

@@DeerAssociation Thanks Brian - The weekly NDA newsfeed with your story arrived today and it answered my question too. We are about 40 miles apart.

@jaymahmoud5010 2 года назад

What herbicide can I use to terminate unwanted hardwoods? Is glyphyosate alone a suitable chemical?

@DeerAssociation 2 года назад

Jay, it depends on the type of tree, size, and method of application. If you're referring to the girdle and squirt method shown in the video, glyphosate (fully concentrated or diluted 50/50 with water) will kill some trees. A better mix, however, is imazapyr, triclopyr and water as described in this article on our website - www.deerassociation.com/deer-habitat-in-a-squirt-bottle-part-2-tools-teams-and-techniques/
