Jeff, can you put out a budget friendly food plot video??

I've heard you say the distances and sizes a bunch of times, but seeing the drone footage showing the downed trees and the spacing is super helpful.

Such a beautiful secluded property you have there Jeff. Love the aerial views of the landscape.

Awesome video thanks for all the information. Been using your information and am starting to see results been seeing more deer and mature bucks during daylight. Do you have any videos on a woods that’s already thick with undergrowth?

Hats off to you guys on what may be your best (or the best I’ve seen) video from a cinematography and production standpoint. Of course, content is top notch. Job well done!

man that aerial shot of the ravine/ravines looks awesome. what a great piece of property you have there.

Thanks Jeff nice to see you out there getting it done

Thanks Jeff! Bought some switch last night! Can't wait to plant it in the spring!

Watch out for ticks ...pulled 17 off me, last week....north illinois....couldn't believe it..

Looking forward to implementing these strategies for the coming season. We had a great time with the site visit yesterday! Thanks for all you do!

I'm thinking about selective logging our 40 acres but afraid it will scare the bucks away thinking of taking 7 trees per acre

To confirm: In 120 acres of mature hardwoods (80% red and white oaks) you would create open approximately 1/4 acre pockets at strategic locations from your food plots for doe, and then farther back, buck bedding.

What do you do with the aspen then? Leave them their or cut them up for fire wood?

Huge fan, thanks for all the video. Will be heading up to cut in the next couple weeks in northern , MI. Do you always leave the fallen timber on the ground or is it ok to leave the tops and branches and take the main logs and use for firewood for camp ?? Or just leave the whole tree. Thinking maybe kill 2 birds..lol. thanks !!!

I cut a little on one side of the property but didn’t want to do to much considering this year we should get right much regen back from our timber harvest

Just cleared about 50 acres on the south facing side of one of our bluffs. Brought in the big guns with a fella buncher and a couple of dozers. The place was riddle with buckthorn, locust and dead ash trees. I’m very concerned about predation since that area is a high traffic location for doe. I told my contractor about my concerns so he suggested dropping grass seed down (switch blade and native prairie ) with a couple of seeding drones. Just waiting to see if we get hit by another snow storm this Thursday and Friday.

Rock and Roll!! Awesome 13th pod cast!! Made me happy to hear I’m doing just about the same thing!! Making a new trail around the perimeter of our property not an easy task, but sure is fun! I mapped out our current stands and access. Pretty sure we’re only using 14 acres out of 86 to Hunt… that’s insanity! I had an eye-opening experience last weekend.

Hey jeff, Are you hauling out the big trees or leave them where they fall?

When you drop trees do you drop them in a certain fashion such as in a pile, away from a trail, or drag them out altogether?

Logged areas on one of my properties, always fills up with multiflora rose - it's like barbed wire, don't know if deer use it.

Just picked up more of your books. Read and referenced two the covers and back pages came off. I taped them up and my son took them when for his library when my new ones arrived yesterday. Because using them my walls and shelves began to get decorated and so did his with nice bucks. I added the food plot book for this purchase because ours was only 50-60% successful last year just have minor changes do adjust but wanted a good guide! Got it. Ow

Hi Jeff, What do you do with the logs once the trees are down? Leave them for side cover? Or cut some lanes through them? It seems like the deer by my don’t like going into a pile of logs laying next to each other.

I've been spraying simazine yesterday and today I thinned out couple areas of honeysuckle and autumn olive wrapped and strangled with wild grapevines. Good cover but a rabbit couldn't run through it because it was sooo thick. Last year had two does killed by coyotes in an area

👍🏻

I love the videos you put out but a drawing of what you were doing in this video would have made it easier to follow but still great information. Thank you

Do you think it's possible to get your woods too thick on the ground with tree tops and new browse regeneration?

Same practice for the South?

Wondering what your thoughts are on sweet birch, also have heard it called shit cherry...

100 lbs of whs seed sitting at my door step today !!!

That was so thick the deer could not escape. One of the does was killed right in front of one of my cell cams right in the creek.

I cut out pockets of poplar last spring and got zero in exponential growth, zero regen in those locations. Would it be due to the understory being mostly large ferns, thus no sunlight to the ground?

Jeff, would 2-110 gal. tanks buried next to each other come close to the effectiveness of a larger tank, such as a 300 gal.? Roughly 220 gal. total capacity but nearly half the price of a 300 gal. tank. Thanks!

In your experience, do you feel that a quarter acre clear cut pocket of aspen is adequate from a size perspective for promoting aspen regeneration? As well as being browse tolerant? Thanks!

First

love the vids thanks for the info, my property gets better and better every year because of your generosity to pass on the info and my hard work which I love

Some good firewood laying on the ground. Wasteful
