Any particular reason you want to wait that long to profit? Like has been said, I would push roads, patches, maybe a pond. Put some nice shooting houses with a couple feeders. Manage the deer for a couple of years while you enjoy it. Then market and sell as recreational in 3-5 yrs. Take profits and start over with a new place. To do it this way you need to get it at a good price to start with. Make sure you have legal access.
