Clear-cut entire property, cut a straight 10yard wide shooting lane around the whole thing and plant it. Box stand on each corner

Actually Slipin that's what my west neighbor will probably be doing. Just clear cut his entire 210 acres along my entire west line.

I have a similar situation but for other reasons such as I can't control people on the other side of the line I have chosen a different route. In the MIDDLE of the property I will clean up a "T". The bottom part will be a food plot. The top I plan to be able to bush hog. My thought is I've always had good luck on gas and power lines. Bush hog it late spring with hopes broom sage and such grows back thigh high by deer season. We shall see.

Wish I could do what several have suggested and put a big destination plot in the middle of my property. Unfortunately my only really good cropland happens to be along my west line. If my neighbor has half a brain he is going to benefit greatly in 4 years when his planted pines are gonna be butted up against my 6 ac of summer plots.Oh well watcha gonna do. Very well may put a deer proof fence along the line in the area of the summer plot to force them into crossing in more areas that are less easily hunted.

I think pressure is subjective. The property I live on is only about 30 acres and I have 2 green fields on it. One I rarely hunt and the other I hunt a lot. I see a lot more deer on the one I hunt the most. It's not unusual to see 10-20 deer in the plot on a regular basis.
The plot is on a big powerline and my shooting house is on the top of a hill overlooking the plot and powerline. I can get in and out of the shooting house without the deer ever knowing I was there most of the time. We rarely shoot a deer on the plot, we've killed 5 wallhangers on the plot in 25 years and a few does. Haven't fired a shot there in 4-5 years but my wife and I sit over there a couple of times a week during the entire season.
In my opinion, if you tread lightly you can get away with a lot without the deer feeling pressure if you're careful about how you come and go

Deer density where your place is at is pretty low. Ft. Rucker's population is on the upswing with their new regs, controlled burning and coyote control. This should benefit you substantially in the next few years. One thing you do have going for you there is quality. I've seen several 130" - 150" deer killed within a few miles of you in the last few years. You've got the habitat to support a good population, you've just gotta figure out a way to control the coyotes. I assure you, the coyotes are your missing link.

Coyotes are definitely on the hit list. I had seen a lot of sign in the north portion of my property this year and not unsurprisingly saw very few deer in that area. Actually had a virtually untouched green field in that area when every other one was chewed down to a nub.Do not know why those Rucker deer do not bee line it to my place, lots better food and not near as many hunters.My hunting buddy up there has some good friends who have Rucker dialed in and they kill some dang good uns.

You may not have what they like or are used to in greenfields. I planted the wrong thing and had the same results one year. You also have to have things they don't have or a better draw. Like better mineral licks, fruit trees, summer annuals, lower predator pop, etc

I assume that you're hunting the wind and paying A LOT attention to wind. Ya gotta hunt smart. Not sayin' you're not... just sayin'!

Somebody mentioned QDM... and I just want to say that QDM isn't about shooting every doe you see and I still don't know where that came from as when you read what QDMA says about QDM, it's about keeping the deer at carrying capacity. Not below it. But you have little acreage so I would not worry too much about carrying capacity.

On small acreage, it's about bedding areas.

Good luck
