Totally agree, curvy trails/roads are more natural. It also makes small properties seem much bigger.

I drilled Kentucky 31 grass on all our trails. Deer have taken to it very well. Mowed today and had a doe at 50 yrds and never spoked.

Makes complete sense

Just got my switchgrass order in yesterday. Shipping was very fast! Had it within 3 days of ordering. Thanks Jeff!

Conventional thinking would say that 10 out of 10 everywhere is better that 4 out of 10. All depends on where u r on the property. Thanks for all this Great info

So true...you just can't spook deer no matter what 😊👍 Kind of the guide depending on where you are at...

I saw the biggest buck of the season dead in a cemetery yesterday.What a shame to see it hit by a car.

As much as it sucks, it's also healthy to remember that as much as we enjoy hunting them, they're not inherently there for us to enjoy.

I have an old railroad track berm that runs thru where I hunt. There is a deadbeat trail that runs the top of it for miles.

Lots of guys want all kinds of food they think it’ll help but it hurts more than anything like you said. Trails are a good thing tho. They’ll choose the path of least resistance 10/10 times

Great info!! Looks great!!!

I made a 60ish inch wide trail through my property. Knocked some trees over to semi limit deer sight and give me some browse protection for red osiers. Deer have been using it like crazy!!! I mowed the trail down to hopefully keep them following it. Should I plant this with a trail mix eventually or just leave what was mowed??

For sure, ha

I'm going to use weed killer to make a trail through your screening blend (sorghum/egyptian wheat) past my stand, before it grows too tall.

Cool idea!

I asked this once before, do deer really like Kentucky crimson? Does it work in this area?

I cut curvy deer trails in my wildly invasive stilt grass. Can’t control it and has no food value.

Are switchgrass plots with curvy edges more attractive to deer than switchgrass plots with straight edges?

We love our switch that follow thE lay of the land, or natural edge. However, a lot of switch can be planted with a straight edge when it is used to screen hunters from deer. Then it is excellent to be long and perfectly straight

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 Makes sense. When you are using it as a screening plot, I suppose you don't want it to be overly attractive to deer anyway.
