Looking good Sam. I started cleaning up some of the existing deer trails from north to south . Unfortunately the rain is making the swamp hard to get things done. Sinking half way up to my knees isn't very easy to get around in there. I am also struggling with just how to lay out this 40 acres. Not many habitat guys show how to set up lowland. Thanks for sharing.

Great video! I had some TSI done 2 falls ago and have spent a lot of time cleaning it up and making trails through the tops. Do you do anything to stimulate the regen like a leaf blower, raking etc. to get the debris off the surface? A little disappointed in how much regen I'm seeing. I do have some areas with lots of boxelder that I am anxious to start hinging after watching this.

Hello. I’m starting to construct some buck specific beds set apart from a larger hinge cut bedding area. I have a good back-stop and some canopy cover. Just wondering, given your experience, do you find bucks prefer to be able to see a ways out of their beds or have some form of cover right in their faces for better concealment? For context this is an area of low ground in a hardwood bush. Mostly ash. Floods up quite a bit so the wettest spots are bare but the rest is fairly thick and nasty. Farthest you can really see is about 50 yards with no leaves. Prepping these beds on a few small pieces of dry ground.

Your farm is looking good, I did some hinge cutting today, elms and box elders are great for that here in central ny,, most of my hinges are edge feathering, I do need to plant some switch grass, but I also have some speckle alders sprouting up in spots.
