Edge Feathering - Before and After Results
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 гру 2019
- Your food plots are a bust, the timber is wide open, and you're wanting to find ways to feed and hold deer during the late season. Woody browse may be your answer! Edge Feathering or Timber Stand Improvement has numerous benefits! Not only are you providing an immediate food source for the deer but also immediate cover for deer and other wildlife. Whats even better is the food and cover isn't just immediate but as the stumps from the cut trees begin to sprout back you'll have food and cover for years to come!
Although these practices aren't ascetically pleasing to the human eye they're tremendously pleasing to the wildlife! Edge Feathering and Timber Stand Improvement need to be implemented across the country. Fire up that chainsaw this winter and improve some habitat! #ForLoveoftheLand

All sounds really good at first I thought you said you were going to cut down persimmons and there's no way I would do that
That’s a cool ridge top
Let's see some time lapse video of you guys using the chainsaws! Would be cool to see the transformation as it's happening and give a real idea of how long that took to do. Maybe throw a drone up there too for a before and after!
Ron Swanson it’s coming! Thanks for the ideas!
Regarding your comment about the felled sassafras being browsed. I have too many sassafras on my farm. How do you suggest that I manage them? Some are very mature.
Kurt Meyers we always look at them as a benefit but not wanting them to get too thick. If they do get to thick or common we just cut and treat with herbicide. You can kill sassafrass with straight gly or tordon rtu
Did you edge feather both sides?
Enjoyed the video. What do you do with all of the felled cedars? Just let them lay where they fall?
Correct. No need to extra work
@@Landandlegacytube Thanks for the reply. Just bought my first property and it has a bunch of cedars. Have done some work with a skid steer to begin reclaiming and opening up some areas. I have piles of pushed over cedars throughout the timber and edge and didn't know about next steps.
It gets super hot here in NETX in the summer. Big Cedars and groves of cedars create great cool areas for deer to escape the heat. Thoughts about leaving certain cedar groves on a property for summer bedding??
The Element absolutely you could, just contain them. I’d also be curious about how it compares to dense groves of plums?
Is this video from last year? I only ask because this year was a flood year. Also, edge feathering helps deer? I have started doing it for quail but didn't know deer like it as well
Chad Sykes severe drought this fall. It rained August 12th and we didn’t get another measurable rain until late September. First hard frost was October 13th. Very short window from actually rain and first frost. Absolutely it helps deer, more woody browse and cover around a plot helping providing more food and make the deer more comfortable in the plot which can increase daylight activity. If trees are fell in certain directions you can steer deer into entering the plot in specific locations also
How is the sassafras still living after it was cut down? Did you hinge cut that particular tree?
No herbicide was used. The tree was allowed to sprout back
You obviously get it! Better upland and turkey habitat is also better deer habitat. Closed canopy forest is worthless to most wildlife
How is it going on you own. Your over 1k subscribers good job. Im almost there too. Do you ever talk with Grant Woods ever.
BigfootFarmer great! The freedom to share unbiased management principles without having to push product is a breath of fresh air for us and has allowed us to promote the holistic approach to land management. We’re excited to get back to more frequent video content. No contact
Couldn’t believe the cedars on the Keith family farm!!! Glad to see that got straightened out Hahha.
Sean Balch hahaha too busy seeing other people’s farm and not enough time to cut cedars! The cobblers kids don’t have shoes right?!
Are you going to leave those fallen cedar trees there?
Yes! No need for additional work. Piling will only create dense piles that aren’t as beneficial to wildlife.
@@Landandlegacytube awesome! I've been stressing about cleaning mine out.
Edge feathering is fine as long as it’s at least 80 or 100 yards away from a stand minimum. Reason being if you hinge a tree there is a good chance deer will bed near it. Even if it’s random. That means you will likely bump deer getting into your stand and that is unacceptable. As always you should not be hunting over destination or primary food plots in the first place.
If deer are bedding in edge feathering that likely means one thing. That’s the best cover in the area. If work has been done in the timber away from plots, old fields restored, etc you likely won’t find them bedding in the edge feathering due to having proper cover elsewhere and spatially they prefer to be off the edge in my opinion
@@Landandlegacytube in a perfect world yes. Deer still bed randomly in the real world. Even if so called perfect bedding is offered. You hinge a tree and food is near by doe are going to bed there at some point.
