Drop tine kicker that gose straight down😮‍💨

What’s your success rate hinging good hinge species with below freezing temperatures?

I don’t hunt, nor do I allow it on my land. I created a wildlife sanctuary where all animals are safe. Planning to use some of your ideas in my woods. Thanks…

70% of a deers diet is Woody browse.

Crazy fast growth. Looking good. Nice, educational videos.

I was on a property recently that had alot of it but was untouched. I was thinking we should mow it and let it come back fresh. What do u think?

I don’t know, I’m on the fence about hinges. I get the structure connection; however, crowns, and regeneration from a clear-cut weighs good on me. The brambles, and shrubs nurse the young oaks along, and so on. Those bigger dbh trees resprout and canopy faster than one might think, especially on good soils. Seems like you’re covering the same ground twice in a short time.

It is good to see turkeys and other game enjoying your hard work restoring and building habitat

Sam do you mainly hinge where you want deer to bed?

Dropping onto other trees is key. I have to sacrifice some to save others if that makes sense.

Hard maple are very difficult to. Mostly what I have unfortunately.

I find box elder are almost I possible to kill, even the bad hinges survive, elms are definitely good, I’m in central ny near Lake Ontario, I like march for my hinges. Also I’ve heard of guys taking rope and tying down small tress to get new growth.

Great video. I plan on doing some clear cutting and hinge cutting soon. I dont no why but when i talked to the odnr and county conservation guys they are so against hinge cutting

Another great one! nice video

Great video! Really liked the seasonal variation of success. Great idea to use a smaller saw. I often use a Sawzall because it's quiet and light and still works well on smaller trees.

Fantastic video/explanation... Much appreciated! I'm just getting started on this on my property near Stillwater, MN...

He he yeah! Been there done that.

Peekaboo I see you.think it don't say it.😊

That looks great.

The manifold are so very VERY hard to turn on & off. Can you help ?

Curious what region you're in? We have some willows in the area, And many in our duck pond geese sanctuaries. So, I'll probably follow your advice and go collect some cuttings. They do that cool thing where they sprout off the bases and like broken branch stumps right. So should be pretty simple to grab some cuttings.

Another great video! Really interesting points about thinning and the impact on tree stability-something a lot of people don’t consider when opening up the canopy. I’ve been working on habitat improvements myself, mainly clearing invasives and improving the understory. It’s amazing how much of a difference it makes over time. Looking forward to more great content!

This works great IF your property is in an area that receives adequate moisture or rainfall but my property is arid and dry in west central Texas . Mt Cedar ( juniper) and sparse live oak trees very little else survives maybe a cactus or two . Open to suggestions

I’m going to plant several hundred red osier dogwood, hybrid willow and elderberry cuttings. What have you found to be the most cost effective way to protect them from deer browse?

That was a great video, very instructive

What percent of canopy is open? What’s the deer density like in that area? How big of an area ? My worry is deer overbrowsing the regen.

Still no snow? When was this shot? We have about 18” on the ground now in northern lower Mi

Another great video! I have some questions about this design. How many yards did you leave between doe bedding areas to allow for hunter access? How close is your travel corridor to the closest edge of your doe bedding. Is your travel corridor between food and bedding or downwind of both?

I got 24 tree saplings/whips (around $5 each) in my house now waiting until the snow melts to plant. 12 - oaks and 12 various fruit (american plum, mulberry and persimmon ) I planted some last year and in tubes only and deer ran them over , during rut I think, small cages are needed. I was able to save one chinese chestnut that got ran over. $15 whip, so ..

Hunting in south east ga. Never heard one person mention any of this. Lot of logic info,I'm doing all this to my land. 30 acres surrounded by swamp on one side. Management on the other.

Really enjoyed this video!!! I’m have spent the whole weekend doing cuttings of green Giant arborvitae’s for this exact reason!!

How open is too open for deer bedding?
