  • Increase Your Farms Carrying Capacity With Hinge Cutting // Lee and Tiffany Lakosky
    This week, Lee demonstrates the benefits of hinge cutting and how it can increase the carrying capacity for whitetails on your farm. He talks about the different tree species to select when hinge cutting, and also how to address larger undesirable trees by using a technique known as girdling. Lee also explains how to properly mix the correct chemicals to apply when implementing the girdling method.

    I rarely hinge trees, Im dropping and killing them mostly, when I do I hinge them at no more than knee height. Keeps the tree usable to deer longer. Shoots off the hinged trees can grow 6+ feet a year, quickly degrading the positive effects of the initial cutting. Better off to cut them clean and safely, and allow sunlight to encourage native plant response in the understory.

      I usually just hollow out the front then Crack them over the trees heal and grow well. As far as these guys cutting trees they don't call them experts they don't know what they are even doing.
      No control over the trees at all.

    I hinge cut approximately 100 trees early spring when it started to get warm before budding. Most trees as soon as the tops touched the ground most broke, i even did it safely w a tractor pushing the trees over leavjg more sap wood and still didnt make a difference. 1-10 trees actually grew any sprouts after this

    What do you do to handle the scourge of the woods. “BUCKTHORN “

    • @ericluchtenburg2818
      @ericluchtenburg2818 Рік тому

      Buckthorn isn't usually a problem in this area more of a honey suckle and multiflora rose problem.

    • @usernamehere6061
      @usernamehere6061 Рік тому

      Can foliar treat it with 2% glyphosate just like you would bush honeysuckle or multiflora. Could also basal bark with Garlon 4a & diesel. Foliar is typically easier and faster.

    Why not hinge waist high?
    A. It’s safer
    B. The shoots from the hinge will be browse height and available now.

      @@usernamehere6061 lol I agree his practices do work on private land his prices to come to your house though are unreasonable and I feel like he kinda sold out and did a few companies dirty that I really like. Like exodus and John komp of North woods whitetail. And something weird went on in his personal life as he now has a 1 year old and anew wife. When 2 years ago Diane his previous wife was in the videos. Kinda a dirt bag

    I get hinge cutting the small ones, bit doing it to the larger ones is extremely dangerous. Eventually they are going to barber chair and if it hits you, there goes your hunting future. There’s a reason loggers don’t just do a back cut, the ones that did died…please take that in to account next time, I enjoy your channel and this puts you in unnecessary danger…

      If it has standard recoil its fine. The EZ recoils are the ones you can't.
