Jeff, I just wanted to say thank you so much for selling only services and information. I just heard a podcast making a jab at your methods because it is contrary to a product they are involved with. I don't have to worry about such nonsense on your channel. Keep it up! Hard work and honesty for the win!
Congratulations on 200k Jeff, and thank you for the *volumes* of great information and intel you continually provide. No magic, no gizmos... instead process, procedure, hard work, and a Plan - always a plan! Awesome.
Want to thank you again. Second season hunting only using a bow in upstate NY. Nobody ever took me out hunting just learned online from guys like you and others. Took a doe and button buck on oct 5th for my first deer ever and doubled up. Dec 7th took my first buck a nice 8pt that couldn’t look away from his doe. Thank you
Another great, straight forward, no nonsense video on layering bedding. After hearing you talk about this late last year, I put in a food plot and did a few things to make doe bedding close by. I went out into the area yesterday since our season is over and found several beds in the area that I was hoping to have does bed. This info is spot on! I will be cutting some trees to leave as side cover, adding a few juniper or eastern red cedars and planting some browse around the current bedding area and working on buck bedding this spring. Currently the property is overgrown with green briar. Do you have a recommendation for getting it thinned out? Thanks for the wealth of information and the dedication to the art of hunting and land management.
THESE ARE ALL MY SECRETS! You’ll be hearing from my lawyers! 😂 happy New Years to you and yours Jeff. Have been watching your channel for years and not having come from a hunting family I consider you one of my main hunting mentors. I really appreciate your time and knowledge.
I can’t believe it wasn’t that long ago you were just breaking 100 thousand subscribers??And now over 200.People are listening.Your content is the best.Thanks for all both of you do.Looks easy.But it’s not..
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 I just watched a travel corridor video. I’m in west central Arkansas. 40 acres at the bottom of a mountain. My property is fairly flat and I’m surrounded by hardwood and pine. I was wanting to use my corridors as walking track and sizes by side trails in the off season. My understanding is that in an area like mine I could get away with a corridor wide enough for a side by side with hinge cuts spaced 5 to 10 yards apart. Would you agree?
Congrats on the 200k Jeff. Out of all the you tube shows I watch especially on buck bedding I never hear anyone talk about logging roads. I have seen this since the 70s Bucks love bedding on old overgrown logging roads here in se Mn. you must see this on your property. Especially logging roads that have different elevations. OOPS is that the secret? Am I getting sued!? lol.
Hey Jeff. Congratulations on 200k subs. Fantastic. I just passed 200 and was pumped, lol. Love the channel, learning lots. It’s really helping me with my new 180 acres in Ga. Keep pushing forward brother.
Jeff- Can you do a video on more "urban" deer? We are battling urban sprawl and what was once the neighbors woods and ag field is increasingly becoming 1-5 acre lots with new homes. How does this affect mature bucks?
Another excellent video Jeff. I got 300 acres with heavy wooded area with another sections off other people property about 100 acres with farm fields beside could I set I no till food plots in my area with the amount off coverage I have. And keep up the great work loving your videos
I'm a firm believer in salt and minerals deposits . Helps keep big deer around plus. a lick never gets snow covered . Took me four years to astablish the lick but I've pulled bucks over 225lbs every year since.
I have this huge buck that kept bedding behind my house and my dad would spook it often going to work but unfortunately not allowed to hunt in that area. Not sure why it would keep coming back
When I lived in Oregon a friend of mine had a house in the open foothills of the mountain. During the summer a mule deer buck 6x6 with over 30" spread would bed in his woodshed just feet from the house. Two days before bow season he disappeared. Area is surrounded by public land so I thought someone got him. Next summer he was back to the woodshed.
I was think maybe they were saying he was using thier "info" in his speech and generating money off it and was making me curious who it was thats monopolizing this information.
Got a question for you Jeffery. What if you have mostly hickory on your farm like alot of hickory just cut pockets out for revegor actually cut out and plant new in place that will be slot of work please don't say that lol
I fall asleep at night watching a LIVE UA-cam channel called Brownsville deer pantry in Main that feed deer about 500 pounds of oats per day. Ive noticed the bucks are king as long as they have their antlers but as soon as they lose their antlers the doe's rule the roost and push the bucks around. Do you find this to be true in your experience?
With respect to cover, is regeneration through increasing canopy in old growth timber enough to increase doe and buck bedding? I’ve got 120 acres of mainly oak, maple, etc. in northeast Wisconsin that hasn’t been logged in over 50 years. If I open the canopy to 30% or more, will understory growth be enough or will I have to plant cover?
If I was u I would clear cut about 20 arces and plant a food plot for a couple of years until the natural under growth starts to come back in a few years. At least u Kno u would have a good food source to hunt for a few years until the undergrowth gets too thick and makes for good bedding habitat. Just make sure u only plow it out the first season u clear cut it and that's it and keep planting a food plot every season until it naturally can't grow there anymore.
Sounds like a beautiful piece of land, was wondering why this good question went unanswered, but then realized that's what these folks do for a living...you'll probably have to make a professional appointment and pay for that info Rick. I imagine the land has to be scouted before anyone can really give you any accurate information . Just a thought.
@@pjb9425 I have two of his books, Whitetail Success By Design and Food Plot Success By Design, but I’m unclear what he means by cover between the plots and bedding areas. I know what he suggests to surround plots as cover, but between the plot and bedding areas he’s less clear, though I need to reread both books and take more notes. I’m hoping he can clarify here; it’s a simple question.
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 absolutely does! I’m working my little slice of heaven (80 acres of farmed land with about 10 acres of woods) and watching your videos to get advise. Having big league issues right now getting the deer to hit my boss buck though. Would love to know if you have any suggestions.
Little off topic but have you ever planted persimmon trees in or near food plots? How far north will them survive? I live in south west Michigan between Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo
Check out Morse Nursery. Their selection has been most hardy for me and I've tried several grafted varieties. Have to keep deer, rabbits off them though.
I only know of one character that was suing over secrets. He’s def a character too. He should go back to boot cam and worry about real things instead of silly frivolous lawsuits.
Um! Let me make a wild guess, lawsuit threatened by another habitat consultant who may or may not be in another Great Lakes State and may or may not have a self devouring ego, and may or may not also believe they have a proprietary rights to general information. But, I'll not mention any names.
The avoided lawsuit story reminds me why we need to go back to people getting their legs broke, just kidding just kidding don't get sensitive on me, butt no seriously haha
How can someone sue you over personal information that is not hurting national security....That is the only legal way for someone to sue you over what you do for you're job unless you have put clients on other private property based on old and outdated land ownership maps. That's the only way I could see it but, I'm sure Jeff is diligent enough to know his boundaries. Legally Jeff, you have the rights to talk about your personal information is protected my the Amendments and Bill of Rights. Make a video specifically towards those secrets. Their previous lawsuit was all bark no bite.
They bed wherever they want to bed Seen mature bucks bed 50yds off the main road in over hunted public land, seen them bed in the thickest nastiest stuff miles away from any road! People these days have so over thought hunting it's not even funny, it's actually getting pretty Damn irritating actually Deer are where they are, find them, kill them, period! And yes, mature bucks not dinks But I guess everyone has to make a living some how
It is totally different on highly pressured public lands versus these farms that are managed with food plots and bedding areas. They are not and will never be one and the same. Sorry but I'm not buying it!
Great simple explanation, thanks again. Always anticipate your next video! Depth of cover question.... is a property that is 2000' long x 350' wide enough to have food on both ends of the 2000' and still support the depth needed for the layering to take place? Mixed ag in central Michigan. Thanks again for all of the great content.
That's why I enjoy your videos. No BS. This is what you gotta do, period. Thanks again for all you do.
Jeff, I just wanted to say thank you so much for selling only services and information. I just heard a podcast making a jab at your methods because it is contrary to a product they are involved with.

Thanks Shane...that's great
you are having Dylan out you will like him a lot!!
Thanks Jeff 👍 suing over secrets! Seriously 🤪 Not like you were going to give out Colonel Sanders secret recipe😁

As always great video brother and thanks for all the help ..I tagged out this season and watching your videos played a big part in why..so thanks you
Really excited to put some of your concepts into play this year. Picked up my first piece of hunting property in Hillsdale County Michigan last fall!
Jeff, if you were ever looking for another subject for more videos. Love to see your monthly chore list for the public land bow hunter
Another great video Jeff, Thanks again for sharing your knowledge 👍

You're videos are so relevant and entertaining ! Ty 👍🏻
Is it ok to put lime on top of snow ? Thanks and keep 'em coming ! Go 🏈
Thanks #1 fan 👍🏻
Awesome information. Glad you didn’t divulge any secrets!
Congrats on the 200k Jeff! It was excellent meeting you at ATA
I have this huge buck that kept bedding behind my house and my dad would spook it often going to work but unfortunately not allowed to hunt in that area. Not sure why it would keep coming back
They are amazing at finding locations there are no hunters...even if small, out of the way, away from food and does.

If u have great layered bedding, how does wind direction effect this on a daily basis??
Hi Terry! Not at all...kind of myth that bucks like to bed downwind of does, etc. I hope that makes sense?
I just love these videos.thank you
Thanks Jeff!
You are very welcome Isaac!
Morning Jeff! How do you feel about letting the timber guy take some of the more bigger undesirable leaning oak trees out?
Awesome idea Drew!!
Thanks Jeff 💯
You are very welcome!
Would love to hear the story of Venti and where he ended up getting shot. Plus why you think he was there.
Wish you would have called this person out whos threatening to sue...
I was think maybe they were saying he was using thier "info" in his speech and generating money off it and was making me curious who it was thats monopolizing this information.
That story was hilarious 🤣
Got it. There is no secret, you just need to have a keen eye.

No...or in most places.

Now I want to know the whole story off the assholes that wanted to sue you.

They will survive their hardy trees .👍✌

Sue somebody that's not how men work
