How can GLC improve your land?

The Foundation of a Healthy Deer Herd lies in the appropriate balance of Food, Water, Cover, and Safety.

Foundation #1

Food

Food. This is where it all begins. Having quality food sources during the fall and winter will be the difference between your herd surviving and thriving. This takes the form of food plots, early successional growth, acorns, and so much more! Read more about this concept here.

A first year kill plot close to bedding.

This plot features clover, chicory, tillage radish, and cereal rye (The Somerset Blend).

Foundation #2

Water

What if I told you that the location of your water source is just as important as its volume? This seems to be the case in the Whitetail woods as a well-placed, small watering hole can be the secret to defining deer movement on your land throughout the hunting season. Read more about this concept here.

Foundation #3

Cover

Deer usually feed 4-5 times every single day. Typically, only 1-2 of those feedings takes place in a designated food plot or green feeding area. So what about the other feedings? Quality food in cover can greatly increase the carrying capacity of your land. Read more about this concept here.

This cover has the added benefits of briars which offer exceptional browse and increased side cover and privacy.

This is a thicket along the property line that contains an existing predator trail.

We created an access trail along the property line to access 3 stand locations without having to use the interior of the property.

Foundation #4

Safety

This is the single most overlooked component to developing a quality Whitetail herd. You can have the best food, water, and quality cover around, but if you are spooking deer on your land, don’t expect to have consistent daytime movement of mature Whitetails. Read more about this concept here.

We want to help you design your hunting land to enjoy for generations to come!
