Deer Parcel Buying Guide: Finding The Perfect Whitetail Property

Finding the perfect whitetail parcel to buy or lease isn't easy. If you desire to capture your whitetail dreams, then you may need to think outside the box of traditional deer land ingredients. After scouting nearly 700 parcels in 25 states since 2005, here are 20 deer parcel qualities I have experienced, you should consider.

Check out the young eagle that swoops in at 4:13! They were making a lot of noise during the shoot, didn't realize it until answering comments...

I'm in Kansas. I'd love to see more videos that focus on the terrain and forage we have here. Even so I am learning a lot watching these videos..

Great timing on this article/video as we're considering putting an offer on a 50 acre piece. The property checks off the majority of this list. Further validation that we need to pull the trigger!

Had a great opportunity here in northern michigan. Buying a 133 acre parcel small creek, some lowlands, mix of pine, wild cherry, beach, maples, conifers, cedar, food plots put in by retired dnr officer. Love your videos. I am by no means a expert hunter but love the outdoors and looking forward to spending more time on the property. Thanks for the great videos you put out.

I bought my 30ac in Clare County last October. It covers a majority of your points expect I need to put in the work of food plots and switch grass...and my neighbors only gun hunt! It’s very productive during bow and even better when my neighbors come up nov 13th to run bait

Quite a list and you bring up some great points to consider!

You only doubled your video estimate, not bad. You have a lot of passion so that's understandable.

I bought a piece of land late last year that was timbered several years ago but has trees surrounding the perimeter. It is very close to an extremely large public forest and has a farm right across the road from my place. My land is basically a 60 acre hill, several hundred feet in elevation above the farm across the road surrounded on three sides with land that falls of rather quickly. While there last December, I noticed a lot to deer trails, with some large tracks crisscrossing across the property. As the land has regenerated after binging timbered, a lot of tall vegetation has grown in. I have only seen it during the winter so everything was brown. It looks like a monster deer bedding area. Going over your video, I feel like I can check the box for a lot of the items you highlighted as having a very good potential to grow a large deer herd. Sorry, but saying a "large deer herd" is something that I thought would ever happen in my lifetime but could be possible given the guidance you provide. Thank You.

Is there a way to subscribe to you blog also? I bought a 125 acres in north central MO in late 2016. Luckily it fit much of the mold you are referring to. I'd like to see the blog associated with this. Thanks

Great informative video as usual! I was wondering if you had the ability to do a aerial overview of your property or a made up property and actually show the funnels, pinch points, saddles, benches etc. you look for using aerial images. I have a good idea of what I’m looking for but to have your expertise would be awesome. Thank you

I would love for you to see the topo to my land 22 acres . Already as you mentioned a hub, nothing for me to see 10 plus deer a sit with multiple doe families. Very terrain with creek oaks with bottom area .

Great list Jeff. I would like to repost it on my youtube channel with your permission.

which direction is the wind usually coming from in north east Michigan? the reason I ask is I put in a trail down the whole west on the property line to access my tree stands.

Greetings, I am so passionate about wildlife deer's that I find laying on the side of the road. With construction building, the deer's are loosing their habitat. They have no safe haven. I want to purchase some land and build a safe haven for them to live. How do I start? I thought about a go fund me to purchase the land. I can build shelters on that land, and build water feeds throughout the land.

Is there a way i could contact you about the propertys i hunt?
