Default Re: Building a Hobby Farm- from woods to eggs

I have 60 acres, with 20 pasture and 40 forest. A 1/2 acre pond and a few streams are on the property as well. Since I deer hunt with my son on our property I have a corn feeder in the woods and a clover plot in a back pasture for the deer to feed on. So you could say that I have a pretty good size deer population. The turkey are abundant as well. And even though they have all that food available, they still seem to feed on my grapes, asparagus, apple trees and other bushes.
Oh well, it's still a good trade-off for being able to have an annual supply of wonderful venison. With the cost of beef today, I have a good thing going with my deer .
