Great video - looks nearly identical to a lot my 80 acres in northern WI. I had about 20 acres of aspen cut in 2009 and about 20 more acres cut in 2019. Both cuts have a lot of hazelnut but limit diversity of other tree species (sporadic balsam, a few white pines and a handful of precious oaks). The 2009 cut looks very similar to what you cut in this video. Hopefully I can find time between ice fishing weekends to get some bedding areas cut this year. I'm a new subscriber.
Do you prefer natural food where you want deer to bed. Or have you created a food option within by planting a grain or clover? Some food but not enough to hold them until,after dark.
@stevedenoyer5956 I've done both. Both work. I've added some clover/chicory into bedding areas and it does seem to help them be a little more attractive to the deer and hasn't hurt the drawing power of my food plots
I have this issue only they have matured enough to where they started killing eachother off and it’s only like a 2-3 acre area so not worth logging it. Any suggestions? Located just a little bit east of Mille lacs.
@trevorhonstrom9651 same concept. If you go under my bedding area Playlist and search aspen bedding cuts I have a lot of videos that apply to that situation. Very labor intensive cutting but the end result is absolutely money when it comes to holding deer
@@PFHabitat Hey man great teachings , thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. What state are you in. I am looking at purchasing a small land plot in Ohio, I feel more confident about it,. Thanks Top shelf.
Looks good! 👍
@@michaelanthonyoutdoors thanks brother!
I like how you explain the purpose and reasoning behind what you are doing, Excellent video, thanks for sharing!
@jeffreymurphy5313 thanks for watching!
Looks great, I like to use the chainsaw also! Great winter workout but is fun and productive, and you learn so much about the land 👍👍
@@jamesfarrow2130 amen to that! Feels great to make the habitat better and break a sweat

@@billwenzel2161 thanks for the sub! It's worth getting at it, your deer will thank you

How long would you let cottonwood grow before cutting currently mine are 4 yrs old 5 to 6ft tall
Did you plant the dogwood?
@@Schooloutdoors nope, those are all natural regen

Who taught you all of the information you know?
@@Schooloutdoors I got a good base knowledge from a few mentors, but time in creation has been the best teacher
@@PFHabitat amen. Keep up the good work
Thanks brother!
I know what I’m doing this winter
👍
@@nfprojectshop thanks!

I appreciate that! I'm out of Minnesota. Fun to hear you may get some land! Working with your own piece of dirt is very rewarding work
