Hunting Lanes, Shooting Lanes & Food Plots
Shooting lanes cut, trails opened, food plots cleared and the ground left ready to disc and plant. Hunting land work, done by somebody who understands what it's for.
Lanes and trails
A shooting lane wants to be cut to the width and the direction that actually works from the stand — not just a straight line off the nearest road. Trails want to be wide enough for a four-wheeler and a trailer, cut where the ground drains, and looped so you can get in and out of a stand without walking across the whole property.
Tell us where the stands are, or better, ride it with us. Twenty minutes on a four-wheeler saves cutting a lane in the wrong place.
Food plots
Plots get cleared, stumps handled if you're going to disc, and the ground left workable. Mulch left on a plot breaks down and feeds the soil, but if you're planting the same season it needs to be thin enough to work through — say when you intend to plant and we'll set it up accordingly.
Where you put a plot matters as much as how it's cleared: enough sun, somewhere that isn't a bog in November, and a way to get equipment to it.
Timing
The work wants doing in late winter through summer, not in October. Ground is drier, you're not pushing deer off the property right before the season, and a spring plot has time to come in. If you're calling in September, we'll still do it — just know it's the expensive way round.

Hunting Lanes & Food Plots — questions we get asked
How wide should a shooting lane be?
Depends on the gun and the ground, but most people want more width than they first ask for. It's a lot easier to take a little more now than to bring a machine back.
Can you cut firebreaks too?
Yes. A mulched break down to mineral soil around a stand or a property line is regular work for us, and it's worth having before you need it.
Can you leave the mulch off a food plot?
It can be spread thin or pushed to the edges. Say what you're planting and when, and we'll set the plot up so you can work it.
