Wonderful land management, is such a wonder how dead spots can be so rejuvenated. Thank you for wonderful lessons. lots of folks don't know much about such management, but also don't think of wildlife opportunities and preservation. Which is why hunters are such valuable teachers and stewards.
And thank you as well for such wonderful work. Especially for those amongst us that either have had nobody to teach and taught ourselves, or have no opportunity to hunt, yet want to know how.... everyone should understand and know how... And just the pure beauty of the nature in the shots.... that alone is a treat, especially for folks stuck in the prairies... hehe. Happy New Years to you all, and God Bless. Always a wonderful suprise when we see ya!
Thanks for the great info! I’m currently working on clearing some trails in a bedding area I made last winter here in the mountains of Virginia. It has a few areas that are too thick to get through so I’m adding a few trails. I’m also cleaning up the trails the deer are naturally using. Keep up the good work!😊
I appreciate you. I would love to see what you would do if you were on a lease instead of your private land. Like if hinge cutting and dozer work were out of the question. Like for me it would be lime plots, maximize forage, cut trails since small shrubs and non-market trees can be cut, and water holes/ mock scrapes.
Can I ask advice or use it for a video idea? I have a small parcel in western NY. Maybe 12 acres is huntable. One 5 acer section is 15-18 year old neglected feild. It has turned into thick 10+ foot gray dogwood. Its so thick that the deer don't use it to bed anymore and the ground is completely shaded out dirt. Years ago it was a bed haven and produced a lot of sheds. I dont want to just clear it all because it would take years for them to use it again and cost a ton to hire it out. I'd rather come up with some other plan using some sweat equity and hand tools. One thought was to make pockets by cutting the dogwood down to the dirt, and surround those pockets with strips of knee high trimmed dogwood to provide regen browse, then keep the pockets surrounded by the full grown brush for screening. What would you do in my situation. Thanks.
Great stuff👍🏼 do you choose Southern facing slopes and/or plateaus on higher elevations or are you all on flat wooded areas? Thanks & happy healthy New Year 🎉🎉
I never jump deer close to me by myself…all the time when my kids are with me and we are being loud. I believe they don’t perceive us as a threat and hope we’ll walk by without noticing them. Also makes me wonder how many times I’ve walked passed a deer by myself and didn’t even know it bc they didn’t move.
Awesome example what 2 years can do!

That's really cool. Thank you all for showing us what you are doing.
Great video. Keep them coming.
Excellent video!

Happy New Year, Jake. Love this. It is very helpful to see the property improvements and have you do a walk through of them!
Excellent video. Happy New Year!

Thanks for the video. We're currently working on a similar area on our property. How big is the area in this video?

Did you burn that bedding area?
You underneath the top?
FYI, believe Exodus went out of business, so might want to remove cell cam from recommendations
