After redesigning my place for all wind options I have 15 stands on 40 acres all exterior located and designed for bow ambush and way off food rifle depending which family member is hunting. Not 1 stand intrudes more than 5-20 yards off property lines to maximize the 40 acres. Thanks to you I have followed your teaching, planted 100 lbs of switch, have 2 acres summer food, 4 acres fall/winter, it’s changed the game not ever going in the middle of my hunting land. Thank you again.
Sounds beautiful Beau...really appreciate the feedback! Very exciting too!
My wife missed two of the biggest deer she’s ever seen last year lol but she is ready this year, the buck fever got to her lol but this year my step daughter will be hunting for the first time so I’m very grateful for your teachings. My property went from a 1-2 person a year hunting property to a 5 person a year hunt opportunity at giants on just a 40 acre property. So thank you from the bottom of our hearts. @whitetailhabitatsolutions
ON our 360 acres we have 6 tower stands and at least 30 ladder and hang on stands , Sometimes its hard to decide which one to sit in and then you second guess yourself thinking you should be somewhere else, all part of the game , I love it,
Hi Stephen! What I find is we only have say 6 or 7 for a given wind for an evening sit. Then we haven't seen the sign we would like to by 2 or 3 of them. Then 1 was just sat in within a few days. We get it down to around 2 or 3 out of 30+ pretty quick. And then sit in the wrong one 😁
My 10 acre strip central U.P. I am going 2 stands. One in a tree and other a cantilever platform off the ridge for handicap hunters. Handicap accessible buildings sell faster. So we only build handicap accessible openings and bathrooms. My moms 5 acres se MI I have 2 blinds. One just brush and a milk crate. In the power line clearing where I do get shots at bucks. The other is in the woods by the duck pond. I also still hunt the picnic table old timer style in a red flannel with bow. Deer there don't spook easy. My mom's property has hardwoods, pines, autumn olives, large garden, fruit trees, and berries. Their is a nice ladder tree stand at my moms I don't use for hunting. It has my swarm trap for bees on it. In the cfa land you can fell the impact tremors through the sand. Gives new meaning to tread lightly. The deer on cfa land are more worried about 4 legged predators than 2 legged, me too. I need to get those deer from cfa land to my property. At archery time. Not this year but next will be bow hunting for bear and deer 2024. Going up few day closer to archery deer season. Slowly replacing the ferns with asparagus. Mixing domestic with wild strawberries. Gonna do a buckwheat, clover, brassica planting this year. Planting hedges and cover around garden fence to keep deer out hopefully this year at my moms.
The concept is what sticks in my head!😅
That's a good thing Tony 😊
Very cool video Jeff, good to get an idea of how you scale stand count on properties!
Thanks Alex! Hope it helps folks. It's so important to develop those morning stands!
Thanks Jeff! Great video! 👍
Thanks for watching Isaac...I really appreciate it!
Another great piece of information!
Thanks Shannon I really appreciate it!
Of all that's out there,this one is the one I turn to.i don't own hunting land but always learning here.heh your 4 critter one was awesome.
Thanks Jeff
Thank you Norm! Man...always love to hear from you and we appreciate you watching so much for so long!
Awesome stuff as always. Be here for a few years and still learning! Thanks guys
I REALLY appreciate you Andre!
Excellent info - great video
Thanks a lot Kurt!
Currently, I have four tower stands, and five ladder stands, on my seventy acres.
No, I am not wealthy, but YES, I like to have options in place to cover wind and deer movement.
All stands are situated in such a way as to not interfere with the other stands.
And there are times that we will use climber stands even with the above stands.
It is a lot easier to have the stands in place and choose one based on wind direction than having to MOVE a stand and possibly spook the deer when doing such.
Great video Great info thank you for sharing!
You are welcome Michael!
Good info thanks Jeff, I’ve got forty and I’d say I could hang about 12.
Thanks a lot ..that would be right in that average for a 40 for sure
As a 40 acre property that is a destination, meaning that I only hold a few does due to open property around me. I find that only a few stands that have bulletproof access is what works best for mature bucks for me. Timing, conditions have to be right before hunting them. Great video👍🏼
Very cool to have a destination property! If you add high quality food (if you don't have it) you can highly pattern deer...or greatly define where they move.
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 yes! Food is key. 23 year food plotter here. Love it!
I like to put so many stands up so that when a trespasser comes in they see them everywhere and it scares them into going somewhere else
I love dummy stands on borders...
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 instead of scrap metal good use for old stands and it keeps those fence sitters at bay !
Thank you ☘👍🏻
You are very welcome!
Any tips on habitat for a 10 acres that is completely surrounded by Ag feilds nearest woods or fence line is 1/4 mile could be a video idea
Excellent video Jeff what is opinion on ground blinds I have 4 and one tree stand do you recommend them
Thanks Ralph! I love them...just need to be completely hidden with a good downwind exit, entrance and area to blow your scent into
I was curious if you plan on doing a south Texas parcel design/whitetail habitat improvement? I’ve seen a lot of videos of other states, but nothing on south Texas land.
Hi CJ, man I wish? But I just never get down there. Maybe Dylan has? I've worked in 26 other states...just no TX
Pic of the land looks familiar. 👍
Ha yes, for sure 😁
Off topic... how long after spraying 2,4-D should i wait to plant clover ? TY
I would wait to broadcast at least a week to 10 days...that's what I will do. With rain it pops so fast!
Just curious, but how often if ever in a given season will you not see any deer or bucks on a day when conditions are right?
A very low % of the time? I shoot my target bucks maybe 1 out of 6 or 7 sits?
Will deer use thick creek bottoms for bedding?
Very often!
On 120 acre rectangular property surrounded on the east and south by vast public land from which I draw deer, can I walk through that public land to get to stands on the east and south property perimeter or will I ruin having deer travel by stands in those locations? I hope this makes sense.
Hi Rick, those would be my preferred access routes to morning stands... definitely! Good call Rick!
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 Thanks, Jeff. This has been an issue that is key to my plan I've struggled with for the past year and together with your video before this one completes it. I really can't thank you enough for responding. Now I can schedule work to begin on the property cutting trees, cutting paths, making bedding areas, and clearing for food plots. Let the work begin!!!
Anyone know what release Jeff is using in this video at the 8:10 mark. I’ve been looking for it for awhile and can’t find it.
Hi Trac! That's a Scott Caliper grip release. I'm honestly not even sure if they make it any more? I've had that for around 25 years I think...
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 found it thank you so much!
Hey Jeff, I have thick bedding on my property. Deer are coming off of ag in the mornings to get to the bedding. I get busted by them on their way in. Sometimes, I get busted in the evenings on stands on their way out to ag. Please help
Hi John...you have to have a high quality food source to define morning and evening movement better. Or be able to get to the backside of bedding without going thru the ag in the morning.
I've hunted situations like yours and I've found going in an extra hour early beats them back there, but some times they hang around in there off and on all times of darkness making it hard to get in undetected. If that's the case try swiftly slipping in right at witchinhour. Evenings hunt closer to the ag
@Alan Ruechel, my property has a road on the south side separating it from ag. I have a few stands just inside my property that I access from the road. When deer enter the ag in the evening I sometimes get winded when they get into the ag field. I also had the opposite issue getting winded when they are coming into my bedding from the ag. I usually have the wind pushing my sent out into the ag field. I'm going to try sitting in stands that I have been busted in the mornings to evening stands. I hate getting busted in the evenings by deer in the ag field that I might of passed on.
@@johncirilli6846 If it was me I would only hunt that road/ag area with a west or east wind and make an access if you don't already have one, to the back where you could hunt north wind. South wind find somewhere else to hunt. Best of luck to you ! Sounds like you've got plenty of deer
How many stands ? As many as it takes.
As many as it takes with a purpose within an overall strategy not to spook deer and to protect your core area that represents at least 50% of a solid chunk of your entire property...
It does no good to put a saddle on a tree... they just stand there !
First
Pretty sure!
Good job Kurt!
