The oak is abundant and is providing a good supply of hard mast. The understory is very dense, and there are many sites which are almost impenetrable - great resting cover for whitetail deer. This tract is great for hunting as is but could be managed to provide better habitat by careful timber harvesting, timber stand improvement, the creation of food plots, and other strategic wildlife habitat development and management. Hunting rights have been leased in the past with good reported results.
