>>1163148>Any advice for finding deer friendly areas from a google map image? What should I look for?In theory, virtually all of the Western Hemisphere is prime deer habitat. In practice they’re not everywhere, and you need to spend some time on the ground to see just where the deer near you are.
Deer by nature seek out disturbed areas and clearings where their favorite underbrush grows.
Pic related is smilax, aka greenbriar. It’s a thorny vine, dozens of varieties grow wild in the southeast, and it’s one of the deer’s favorite forage foods. In fact, if you see the vines chewed back, it’s a safe bet that deer are in the area.
Wouldn’t know about duck or upland birds. I’ve never been.
