good looking pond
good luck 30 acres you can put a tripod in each corner and hunt the wind and sun
doesnt matter if its been hunted or not put up a feeder or 2 and run them year round and enjoy the Hell out of your own place

Everyone is told....buy this or lease this....it hasn't been hunted in xxx years.
Amazing that people still believe that crap. It's not crap. I know ranches that haven't been hunted in 10+ years Not every piece of property is shot up Says the real estate guy! I don't have to lie to people to sell ranches. Not every landowner hunts or leases his property. It's a fact Why is it so hard to believe? Especially if this lady has been living there.

I don't think they are "calling out" the previous owner, just pointing out that with just 30 acres, it doesn't matter if a hunter set foot on it, hunting around it pretty much = the same as being on it. Personally, who cares, you have your own dirt!! (hopefully hunting wasn't the only factor for the purchase) The biggest negative IMO, (from a hunting standpoint) STX mentioned early on, you are at the mercy of the LO's that border you. You will have to live through a season or 2 to see exactly what your dealing with as far as hunting pressure. You now have a slice of heaven, so I would enjoy it for what it is.

Place a protein feeder in the center of that 30 acres. Keep it going year around. The trick is to NOT hunt the protein feeder, but find the trails the bucks are using to access the feeder. If you see lots of does, those bucks will start showing up in October and November.

That's awesome and you should be extremely proud! Who cares what happened before you now it's all yours, and you can do what you want. Put some corn feeders out and enjoy. I wouldn't do protein unless you can get it as cheap as corn. Plant something if you can and that would help even more!

Hamilton county is loaded with deer and turkey. Feed heavy, you'll have deer. Congratulations on your new place

The land has likely acted as a refuge area for awhile. The advice to put a protein feeder in the center and hunt the trails leading to it is sound. You want to treat the center 10 acres or so as a refuge to keep deer on your land. Having surrounding milo fields helps, once they are harvested, there is little cover the deer have to go somewhere.
for every stereotype there's a prototype don't be the prototype

Congratulations on getting your own piece of Texas, it feels very different when you can all it your own no matter how large or small! Enjoy the experiences you have, the improvements you make and the memories that will come down the road.

Before I bought my place north of Lampasas, I walked all 21 acres of it twice and just looked at the ground. It was 21 acres wall to wall deer poop. Bought it and never looked back. It was the right decision.

if you say you've got fresh cut milo on two or three sides....then does that mean that your place is a brush island in the middle of all that? might be good. in agricultural areas where you have lots of open field, deer will hold in relatively small pockets of brush at times. again though...unless the property is pretty big....if there's deer in the area, then its a likelihood that someone has been hunting them.
there's a lot of nice deer every year shot out of the cab of a tractor. so even though you don't see any blinds or feeders or anything. there may be more hunting going on than what is visible.
