We often describe the a common central mid-west Whitetail Deer cover habitat as
wooded drainages connecting small wood patches cutting through grain crop fields
within agricultural regions. This aerial and ground level picture series is an
attempt to illustrate that habitat. A small 60 acre spot good for one hunter.
This aerial is of a wooded drainage well shown by the irregular dark line and small wood lot. This aerial we consider average with wooded drainages and wood lots larger and smaller than this easily found. The picture below is of the bulk of the wood lot as seen from the north looking south at #1 on the aerial.
Below, from inside the wood lot looking out to the field marked as #2 on the aerial.
Standing at the bottom of the drainage, in this case a dry drainage, that runs through the aerial.
The intent with these snapshots is just that to take away some of the unknown about our deer habitat, but not intended to be the entire picture. |
