Improve Your Hunting Land with Smart Forestry Practices

If you’re a Michigan landowner with a passion for hunting, turning your property into a wildlife-friendly hunting habitat can be both rewarding and sustainable. At Michigan Timber & Ag, we specialize in forestry practices that enhance land for game animals like whitetail deer, turkey, and more—while promoting long-term ecosystem health.

Why Forestry Management Matters for Hunting Properties

Game animals are drawn to areas that offer food, cover, and security. Overgrown or unmanaged forests may look wild, but they often lack the structure and diversity needed to support thriving populations. Through selective cutting and habitat planning, we can create the perfect mix of open areas, bedding zones, and food sources.

Forestry Techniques That Attract Deer and Turkey

Strategic selective cutting helps open the forest canopy, encouraging the growth of grasses, shrubs, and young trees—critical forage for deer and other game. We also use land clearing to establish food plots, clear shooting lanes, or create edge habitat that boosts movement and visibility for hunters.
