Tips to Encourage Small Game Species

  • Avoid abrupt transitions between forest stands, openings, fields, and drainages.
  • Encourage shrub cover along borders of fields and other openings.
  • Use strip plantings and strip disking to encourage use from multiple wildlife species.
  • Incorporate grain-producing plants in food plot planting mixes within strip plantings.
  • Create brush piles along wildlife travel corridors (i.e., rights of way, drainages, field edges).
  • Use prescribed fire as often as possible.
  • Retain overgrown oaks during forestry activities as wildlife rest areas.
  • Encourage den trees and fallen logs as wildlife attractors.
