Food Plot Clearing for Hunting Properties
Clearing wooded and brushy areas to create productive deer food plots on Indiana hunting properties. We clear the space — you plant the plot.
Setting Up Your Food Plot Right
A well-placed food plot can transform a hunting property, concentrating deer movement and giving you predictable patterns to hunt against. But before you can plant, you need to clear. Food plot clearing is the process of removing timber, brush, stumps, and debris from a chosen location to create a clean, open area with workable soil. Premier Outdoor Management handles the heavy clearing work — mulching trees and brush, grinding stumps flush with the ground, and opening up the canopy to let sunlight reach the soil. From there, you're ready to lime, till, and seed.
What Stands Between You and a Food Plot
- Wooded or brushy openings that need to be cleared and opened before planting
- Existing openings that are too shaded for a productive stand of clover or brassicas
- Old overgrown food plots that need to be cleared and started fresh
- Areas with standing brush and stumps that make tillage impossible
- Corners or back sections of a property that have good soil but no access
- Multiple small openings that need to be connected or expanded
A Cleared Plot Is a Productive Plot
Stump-Free Finish
Stumps are mulched flush with the ground so tillage equipment can work the area without obstruction.
Canopy Opening
We remove enough canopy to give your food plot the sunlight hours it needs to produce.
Mulch-In-Place Material
Cleared vegetation is mulched on-site, improving soil organic matter as it breaks down.
Right Size for Your Property
We clear to the exact dimensions you want — a quarter-acre plot or a two-acre opening.
Access Route Connection
Combine with trail clearing to create a quiet access route from your stand to the plot.
Natural Edge Transition
We create clean, consistent edges that give deer the cover-to-opening transition they look for.
