Photo by Charles Alsheimer I was like a proud father waiting to show off his newborn son. I had recently closed on my own 17-acre patch of dirt and invited whitetail habitat guru Jeff Sturgis for a visit. Sturgis, who offers habitat-consulting services, spent more than an hour scouring the ground and was ready to make some recommendations for enhancements that would, I hoped, make the land more attractive to the area's whitetails and turkeys.
