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.

About Our Hunting Land Clearing Service in Nesbit

Hunting land clearing is about strategic property improvement — not just clearing trees. Our ASV RT-120 compact track loaders with Denis Cimaf mulching heads are the ideal machines for hunting property work. They're compact enough to navigate tight timber stands, quiet enough not to permanently alter deer movement patterns, and leave beneficial mulch on the ground that breaks down into organic matter and improves soil for food plot planting. In North Mississippi's whitetail deer country — DeSoto County, Marshall County, Benton County, Tippah County, and Tate County — we work with hunters and hunting clubs to clear food plot areas for planting clover, chicory, brassicas, winter wheat, and other wildlife forage. We open shooting lanes from ladder stands and box blinds, create ATV and UTV trails for quiet access to hunting areas, remove invasive privet and honeysuckle that compete with native browse like persimmon, muscadine, and oak mast, and build staging areas and parking spots near hunting zones. The best time to clear hunting land in Mississippi is late winter through early spring (January–March) — after deer season ends and before turkey season and the spring green-up. This timing minimizes wildlife disturbance and gives food plots maximum growing time before fall planting season. Whether you're building a new hunting camp from scratch or improving an existing lease, we'll walk the property with you and develop a clearing plan that matches your hunting strategy and budget.
