Im a 52 year old hunter and il tell you something ive learned more from you Jeff in the last 2 yrs than ive learned my whole hunting life.Hats off to you sir for sharing all the knowledge you have
Thank you again for sharing your lifetime of experience and talent. I sincerely appreciate it. Lots of us can't afford to hire help but are wise enough to listen and learn and strong enough to do ourselves. Your knowledge is the ingredient that wraps up the blessings for us. Thank you. God bless you.
My girlfriend's family has a nice 93 acre property. The upper part is pines, hardwood/young growth below, and a big ag field to the left. The deer the come down from the pines and hug the woods along the ag field. The corner of the pines/wood is deer highway and it's great hunting!
Who the heck gives a thumbs down for this free video about whitetail hunting that has great info?? Guess we all know who's not gonna get a nice buck this yr 🙃 😂.....always great content jeff !! 🍻🦌
Great video guys the Drone work really clears up the image of what you're speaking on this video really brings out a lot of cool information thanks so much
Love your videos.. It was nice to hear someone else say they don't look for the long shot (first) during rifle season. Been hunting fourty years now and my setups offer me only about fifty yard shots. Been very successful with this.
I find a lot of areas just like that when I am shed hunting.One specifically is at the top of a stone quarry.It drops off about 30 feet straight down.And I find sheds in their every year.The crop fields are about 300 yards away.Time to really check it out.Have a couple trees already picked out.
I use a 5 acre pine stand that juts into my property to get into and hunt the edges. Sometimes dropping a tree or two out a ways to keep them close enough for a bow shot.
I really enjoy these videos. I pride myself in my hunting knowledge, growing up on a farm with property and hunting since I can remember. However every one of your videos are packed full of knowledge and give me one of those "light bulb" moments. Specially in NW PA we have tons of deer but we also have tons of hunters... pressured deer. Gained a sub!
The regular viewers enjoy watching the hunts out of these locations, why they work, and which bucks we kill out of them during the Fall. Also...they already work before we hunt them 😉
I would really like to hear your opinion on hunting swamps and marshes. My brother and I are here in Maine and we have decided to try hunting in these areas for 2021. For my scouting these areas so far I find a lot of rubs facing in the same direction. The direction is heading out of the swamps. We shall see I guess. I love your videos. Thank you for all the great information.
Love the content! I also would love to see a video about creeks, rivers, and swamps. How do they utilize them throughout the year and where and when do they cross creeks/rivers.
Shot a decent non typical a few years back sitting in a bottleneck location between a road and a lake. The deer naturally funneled through that area when the neighbors would walk out to there stands .
I wish there was a video that actually teach us how to locate funnels on the map. But no one teaches that ! They just assume people assume they know what your talking about. I’ll keep looking
I totally understand why you and deer love the clear cuts, but man they get pounded hard with pressure. At least in my area. I think the bucks boogie outta there quick once that happens
Two comments. 1- you have said in the past, you don't want to see nice bucks this time of year. That means they won't be there in the fall. But your seeing bucks on camera. 2- What about hunting in fence rows in flat ag land? (NW Ohio).....
Fencerows are great for the rut, especially if hidden and not too long of a stretch. We are seeing some if the smaller ones here and there, but not consistently. We haven't seen most of the shooters yet, which is a good thing 😊
@@hughphillips67Mustang I've seen my shooter buck here in the Summer, but since I follow Jeff's advice he only comes about once a month, and when deer season comes, I guarantee he'll be on our land! 👍
Hi Jeff, Todays question, How does switchgrass affect turkeys? If i have a field and I entirely surround it in switch grass on all 4 sides, will turkeys walk through the switch to get to the field? Will they only fly in an out? Or ignore it all together?
Around the 14 min mark you are talking about a narrow area that you will have 7ft grass in but you are also talking about adding bedding to that area. Wouldn’t the grass in that narrow area be perfect bedding already?
Unrelated deer question for you. I planted an acre of iron and clay peas about a month ago. Great growth and great looking, however the deer arent touching it. This is the first ever planting of iron and clay peas in at least 2100 acres of my land and unused county land next to me. Not sure the deer know they can eat it. Should i just put some corn or something out for them to get them in the peas?
Jeff, what is your thoughts of placing a vertical licking branch on PUBLIC LANDS (big woods) in one of these funnels or pinch points? I’ve watched probably 100 or so of your incredibly educational videos and don’t recall ANY mentioning placing a vertical licking branch on public lands. I’d really like to know your thoughts on this because I’m a big public land hunter.
My question is I never see feeders in your videos so what's your take on them and also I want to put a automatic feeder in a spot where I'm gonna put my tree stand and want your opinion on that too?
Jeff - Not hunting related but curious.... Your forearm tattoo, is there a meaning to it? I know that is an annoying question but you're a nice guy and I figured you'd be ok answering. I've learned so much from you and greatly appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
Hey no problem at all! It's the medical symbol commonly known for diabetes...and the 1 above it for Type 1 diabetic. Narrows down to a paramedic why I might be passed out on the ground some day 😊
So where I’m hunting at, I have open/overgrown field, hard woods with River, and then clear cut about 60 yards through the hard woods. Would this be a funnel type to add in a stand location? Open land is on one side of the area loggers couldn’t cut due to natural spring/creek running straight through heading to the river
Hi Kurt! I frost seeded into an area that had been brushhogged by the power company last year. Sprayed Simazine before Green Up. Then 2-4D and Round Up combo and then mowed early June and early July. I'm not even sure it germinated much until late June...doing great now tho!
Great video Jeff!! Trying to create pinch points and funnels using switchgrass and having issues with foxtail in the plantings still heading out each year with mowing. Any other tips or will the switch eventually win out? Thanks for the help.
Hey. so i have only 50 acers to hunt. with majority of it on a back side of a bunch of houses. however i get constant photos of decent and even larger bucks. however it’s all on a hillside and the deer seem to spot me when coming in to me. how would you go about it?
Hey Jeff I know u don't use bait but when u did use minerals what brand did the deer like also my friend lives on the river and the woods are about 2 miles away from her house and then a lot about 1/2 acer of woods bout 100 yards away where would u think the deer come from
If you go and scout the land, you will find deer trails and when/if you see all of them connect, then that would be a great spot to put a stand and a mock scrape! 👍
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 I’m getting very anxious 😉😉Hopefully the creek will go down so I can get to my plots.We have had rain every day for the last week.Really getting tired of pulling my driveway out of my lawn..

Lol

Thanks Jeff👍 Good info! Have a great day all!
Oh my, the discussion on the saddle, you perfectly described a spot I have access to. I’ll be in the woods with a stand this afternoon.
Excellent Excellent videos. You've been such a great help to so many hunters. Thank you Jeff, Dylan and all others involved.
Great video guys the Drone work really clears up the image of what you're speaking on this video really brings out a lot of cool information thanks so much
Wow the detailed you put in your video Jeff is incredible we’ll explain and the aerial shooting that you guys you got some nice property thank You
Thanks a lot Ralph! Really hope that it helps 😊

Awesome video Jeff! Thanks for continually sharing the knowledge and helping people have more success!
Thank YOU! You are very welcome 😊
This video is so awesome. As a new subscriber this content is changing the way I’m looking at public land bow stands this year. Thank you!!!
Man that's great to hear Chance 👍 Thanks a lot for subscribing too...I really appreciate it!
Thanks Jeff! Just got my red osier dogwood seed, cant wait to plant it this fall in my browse plot and bedding area!
I use a 5 acre pine stand that juts into my property to get into and hunt the edges. Sometimes dropping a tree or two out a ways to keep them close enough for a bow shot.
First time seeing any of your videos. Thanks for all the help and all the info. New follower.

Awesome info. Thanks for sharing your expertise. Watched many hours of your videos and have learned a ton. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Eventually I’ll watch every video you have made!
Thanks a Jake I really appreciate you watching!
I love these videos, but what myself and I’m sure other viewers are wanting are follow up videos deep diving into why these spots did or did not work.
The regular viewers enjoy watching the hunts out of these locations, why they work, and which bucks we kill out of them during the Fall. Also...they already work before we hunt them 😉
Thanks for another great video Jeff!
You are very welcome Tanner!

A bear!? That's pretty cool! Dont see them down here very often. Seem to be getting more common.
We had some in WI for a while...cool to see them in MN😁
Great info for me as a rookie
AWSOME advice great video👍🦌👍
Shot a decent non typical a few years back sitting in a bottleneck location between a road and a lake. The deer naturally funneled through that area when the neighbors would walk out to there stands .
Hope all is well with you.. God bless 🤘🤘
Thanks a lot Jon and you too!
Excellent video!
Thanks a lot Wes!
great info Jeff! I sure hope that bear video was from your Wisconsin parcel, or do we have another one prancing around winona county?
Thanks Randy 😊 And yes...Winona area...even more pics today!
I wish there was a video that actually teach us how to locate funnels on the map. But no one teaches that ! They just assume people assume they know what your talking about. I’ll keep looking
This video explains in detail several funnel and pinchpoint types...but it's your job to match them to an aerial or portion of land where you hunt.
I totally understand why you and deer love the clear cuts, but man they get pounded hard with pressure. At least in my area. I think the bucks boogie outta there quick once that happens

Pinch points and funnels are the best locations to hang trail cameras.

What’s a Good way to make a hard edge within hardwoods. I’ve done some hinge cutting but looking for a more natural edge. My property is 90% woods
So where I’m hunting at, I have open/overgrown field, hard woods with River, and then clear cut about 60 yards through the hard woods. Would this be a funnel type to add in a stand location? Open land is on one side of the area loggers couldn’t cut due to natural spring/creek running straight through heading to the river
How did you plant the switchgrass by the power line?
Hi Kurt! I frost seeded into an area that had been brushhogged by the power company last year. Sprayed Simazine before Green Up. Then 2-4D and Round Up combo and then mowed early June and early July. I'm not even sure it germinated much until late June...doing great now tho!
I was out last Sunday check-in cams and came across a balloon so I put the camera there we'll see its a old dried up creek bottom with benches
Ha, good luck Denny!!
Diane - still waiting on my contact to discuss / schedule site consultation 😁
Bull Run- my apologies- reach out to me at ddefran70@gmail.com and I can get you the info that you need:)
I want to say I'm working a old 2 track on public, no one hunts this 1000 acres lol planting
Great video Jeff!! Trying to create pinch points and funnels using switchgrass and having issues with foxtail in the plantings still heading out each year with mowing. Any other tips or will the switch eventually win out? Thanks for the help.
Have you mowed or sprayed the switch?
Mowed last year. Sprayed this spring and have mowed this year so far
Do you hunt south eastern wi at all?
Hey Jeff I want to buy a “whs hat” I went on the website and didn’t see any? Any hats for sale in the future
Hi Garrett...maybe in the future? We do plan to sell some soon
Awesome. I was amazed with the moc scrape vine! Love it keep up the good work!
There’s a girl in nodine Mn that can make custom engraved leather patch hats.
I was just looking for a video about how to find funnels and what they look like in a Airal map bingo
That's great to hear Denny I really hope that it helps!
So much you have no idea I have a area just like this I've been trying to figure out what to do thank you so much
Your food plots in video look brown, did you plant Buckwheat this year for no till, or are using different method for fall seeding?
Hi Gary! Those are new plots on the new land...allow EZ Not Till Plantings. One is 1/2 corn...but they have been sprayed and about ready to go 😊
Hey. so i have only 50 acers to hunt. with majority of it on a back side of a bunch of houses. however i get constant photos of decent and even larger bucks. however it’s all on a hillside and the deer seem to spot me when coming in to me. how would you go about it?
Dont silhouette, drop down about 15 yards and plant a tree or Bush to use as cover
Hey Jeff I know u don't use bait but when u did use minerals what brand did the deer like also my friend lives on the river and the woods are about 2 miles away from her house and then a lot about 1/2 acer of woods bout 100 yards away where would u think the deer come from

Really need some lines drawn on your images to map what you are talking about.
