How much does it cost to clear a food plot in Mississippi?

Clearing a food plot in Mississippi typically costs $1,200 to $2,500 per acre depending on the density of timber and brush. Smaller food plots (quarter to half acre) may have a minimum charge of $500-$800. This includes clearing, mulching, and basic ground preparation for planting.

What size food plots do you recommend?

For deer hunting in the Mid-South, we recommend food plots between 0.25 and 2 acres. Smaller plots (quarter to half acre) work well in timber for bow hunting, while larger plots (1-2 acres) are better for rifle hunting and can support more wildlife. We'll help you plan the right size based on your property and hunting goals.

Can you clear shooting lanes without disturbing deer patterns?

Yes, our forestry mulching equipment is much less disruptive than traditional clearing methods. There's no burning, hauling, or heavy excavation. The mulcher makes one pass and the work is done. We recommend clearing shooting lanes in late winter or early spring so deer have time to adjust before hunting season.

Do you build ATV trails through timber?

Yes, we create ATV and UTV trails through wooded areas by mulching a 6-8 foot wide path. The mulched surface provides a quiet, stable trail that won't get muddy. We can also create wider trails for side-by-side UTVs and add turnouts for passing.

What trees should I keep on my hunting property?

We recommend preserving white oaks, red oaks, persimmon, and other mast-producing trees that provide food for deer and turkey. We also keep strategic cover trees near food plots and travel corridors. During the property walk, we'll identify the most valuable trees to preserve.

Hunting land clearing is about strategic property improvement — not just clearing trees. We work with hunters and landowners to create functional hunting properties that attract and hold wildlife. Our services include clearing food plot areas for planting clover, chicory, brassicas, and other wildlife forage; opening shooting lanes from deer stands and blinds; creating ATV and UTV trails for quiet access to hunting areas; clearing around existing food plots to expand planting areas; removing invasive species that compete with native browse; and creating staging areas and parking spots near hunting zones. Our compact track loaders with forestry mulching heads are the ideal tool for this work — they're quiet enough not to permanently disturb wildlife patterns, leave beneficial mulch on the ground, and can navigate tight timber stands.
