Thanks Jeff, love the deer chores series. Happy holidays to you and your family..

Thanks Jeff! Cant wait to go out this weekend! God bless! 👍

Jeff, I appreciate your wealth of knowledge I have 30 acres in SE Ky and come end of season going to be implementing all I’ve learned from you not just for hunting purposes but to also build up local wildlife in my area again thank you for the time you put into making these videos

Great video as always guys! Thank you for the tips! I took my number one on my place this season in part to allot of your input. Merry Christmas to you and your families also! Keep up the great job.

Second season hunting and I harvested a mature 8pt in upstate NY. Thank you for your info

Good luck tomorrow 🦌💥👍🏽

Thanks for all the content I’m from bay city Michigan but I started hunting in northern Kentucky on public land full of hills and you know like I do we don’t have hills around here lol so I used all your tips and even use a lot more here where I hunt in gladwin county state land

Yeessss! I've been tagged out and waiting for this.

We have tons of bedding/chainsaw work. I’m looking forward to your January videos-!

Inspirational talk Jeff thanks so much you really can light a fire under somebody

Great video!! Thank you for sharing .

Thank you Mr. Jeff, followed your advised and harvested an 8 pointer in south Texas 2 days ago, he was chasing a doe

Thanks , I try new stuff every year . Cannot do it all small area , but I do enjoy doing it all I realy would like is to see more deer . Some of it works for me and some don't , all good.

Thanks for your tips Jeff! I hunted high stem count and Thermal cover and food and tagged out on bucks yesterday morning! Last night I took a friend and new hunter out and we saw a beautiful 8 point but he wasn’t able to get a shot, it it’s just more proof your advice works and in two hunting seasons you completely changed my success and deer sightings by 100%

I wanna give you a big shout out killed my biggest buck dec 4th a big old new York 8 point and it was your tips that helped me out forsure

Thank you for sharing your knowledge Jeff! I've been following your channel for 3yrs. Your shared knowledge has been great influence with our property, heavily logged (damn near clear cut). The increase in wildlife and mature bucks over 3 years is amazing.

Way too warm to hunt here in WV. Using my three days off next week originally for muzzleloader to clear a new food plot and get it limed, add a water hole and take down stands. I enjoyed the season this fall, but time to switch gears and start looking ahead to next season.

Congrats, some knowledge from Jeff about hunting a stand in the right place at the right time/wind got me a nice buck on November 2nd! Even during gun season on the 28 I had a huge buck at 25 yards doin the same thing, being in the right place at the right time /wind! Most people won't admit it but I think I've changed my ways cause of Jeff and his knowledge he puts out! Awesome ain't it!

Your tips got me back to being really excited to hunt again Jeff I was getting really frustrated with not getting mature bucks over the last few years but fallowing your tips has made a huge difference and I am enjoying hunting again thanks Jeff

I’ll let ya know this time next year if all your stuff works here in the mountains of southeastern Ky. I’m doing everything your doing in two small private lands here and about four or five public land areas. The big thing here is huge mountains very thick and not any ag except my two small plots I been planting the last few years. Lots of log roads and not much flat grass area. People say stay west of I75 and north of I64 but I can’t cause I live in Harlan Ky and want to hunt here at home!

Got 2 to day , cold day , it worked ,thanks

You can bow hunt til dec.31st in WV Merry Christmas to you and the family. God bless!

Hi Drew...seems like about perfect timing for you - good luck!

Got till about mid January here in Central kentucky starting to get a little more activity on my cameras again, big bucks still haven't shown back up but I know several of them made it through the season. 27° this morning 100 from daylight till about 11:30 didn't see a lot of activity I'm getting ready to head back out again here around 1:30 and sit till dark in another stand where I've been getting some decent butt pictures.

Thank you for offering such great hunting content. Do you have a video that shows how you make the water holes, choose a location, etc.?

As always great content in the video. one question when looking at land what are your thoughts on land that has powerlines going through it any tips on what to look for things to do?

Here in Ohio bow season is over feb 6th I still have a buck tag need to fill it soon

The one guy I saw is actually planting the early succession growth tree seeds that he gets from DNR. I’m going to look into it but have you heard about this? No till in the seeds of maple, box, willow, etc. seems like a good idea

Hello Jeff! I love watching your videos & learning a lot! I'm Deaf & this video is not captioned. I would love to watch it with caption. Thank you!

Maybe an idea for another video, you always talk about having large hardwood and not much water in the area, but what happens if you have primarily large softwoods of course with some less desirable hard woods like Birch&Beach mixed in, and primarily wet ground unless were in a dry spell

Love the content in your videos Jeff. Have you ever had any experience with phragmites being used as screening/bedding cover?

Can you do some more on making deer bedding or habitats that they can take cover in I seen you cutting them trees down great information thank you go lions

Hey Jeff, thank you so much for all of your information! What is in the pollinator blend? Does Northwoods Whitetails carry it?

I have a very small 2 acres I'm working on. Do you think planting switchgrass along the road would help with giving deer cover?

I planted switch in summer that I was told was ready to germinate. Some areas were tilled/compacted, other areas were seeded where I had 30% plus exposed soil. Planted at 9 pounds per acre and saw very little germination. I kept mowing until September. Other grass took over. Do you think I need to reseed by frost seeding?

I was sitting this morning with my dad thinking about what to do this year to help out more. If anyone has any history with giant ragweed what is done in those instances when it seem like that chokes out sunlight for saplings and other Forbes to grow? The deer definatly use the ragweed as bedding but is that good enough?

Good info just want to say that November and December chores should include hunting to figure out what to fix for next year then WRITE IT DOWN otherwise you will forget until you are sitting there next year

Do prescribed burns spook deer? My neighboring property did a large prescribed burn the other day, and all the smoke was blowing right into my property. Just hoping that it won’t spook any of the big bucks off my property somewhere else.

Off topic for this video but what’s the reason for putting a branch in the water hole. Been following for about two years now. Must have missed it in old videos

I'm sorry I'm still slightly confused. I looked at whitetail institute for frost seeding seed and the annual I found said to plant in September for Michigan, so can I buy that seed and frost seed it in December? Thanks for thr great info!

Can we throw out switch grasses into areas we cleared just prior to winter freezes? I have an open area we want to be all grasses for doe bedding/critters and screen but we already have hard freeze and snow in NH

Whats your thought for Johnson grass got a bunch of it on property and it stays standing through winter here in Texas

Thanks for all the info Jeff! Where do you buy your water troughs from??

I have two hay fields. Are the deer still eating grass this late in the year? Or is all the nutritional value gone in the grass. I’m in southeast Wisconsin

Looking at a 30 acre property to buy rn and it sets up beautifully as far as ridge systems and access to bedding area tree stands. The only issue is the 10-15 acres of open meadows/old pasture is visible by the road because the field sits down in 10-12ft below road. Is there any solution or should I pass on the property and look for a better one?

Closed on a small and very cheap 3.5 acre rec property yesterday that connects to 40 acre of state land. I think I’ll focus on food food food.

I put in a request for a team member visit earlier this year. Didnt realise that you get over 2000 requests. Now i dont feel so bad for not hearing back.

What settings do you usually use on the cams? size card? picture/video or both? preference I suppose just curious your thoughts. Thanks for the content!

Jeff,My wife and i just bought 75 acres. Our driveway is on the edge of a open browse area, there is a blind there, this 2 acre area attracts lots of rut activities scrapes and rubs bucks chasing does , on either side it heavy cover, should we move the blind? Leave it and put in another blind in a better location? It was such a good rut hunting spot this year, i just feel the blind is in a poor spot.

How many scrapes and rubs should there be per acre?

Is now a good time to dump a bunch of lime on your plots if you need to adjust the pH for next year?

I know it doesn’t sound like much but I decided to turn 3/4 of an acre of my 6 acre ag field into switchgrass with pockets of diversity for bedding. Going to make a huge difference to my hunting setups. Can I frost seed over corn stubble.

Good morning! God is so good. Where do you order your seed from?

I have a few comments to ask part of my property is part of swap have a Lotta deer access going through my swab and everything but I also have a lot of aggregate in and around me so I know all the deer and majority are in the swamp so how can I get them to access onto my open part of the property instead of staying in the swamp or accessing the aggregate and having proper access without spooking them I really need your help I know I have lots of deer on this property I just bought it this year and it is a deer Haven bought some cameras trying to figure out how to make things work and I just don’t want to get frustrated and overworked and I don’t want to do things wrong to lose the animals of my my swamp and my property

November hunting things check your trail cams to see when the bucks are out and sit in the stand all day then shoot a buck

I thought you wanted to wait to do your hinge cutting in March when the sap is running? Not December, January when the sap is froze.

If you're seeing bucks together, does that mean they are done breeding?

Man I enjoy your channel, no matter how much a man thinks he knows , he can always learn something new! Dillon is a lucky man to hang out with you even for one day! I still got a doe tag but just can't seem to bring myself to shoot a mamma with babies..... What's your thoughts on shooting a mature doe with healthy youngin's this time a year? Do you think they will be fine on their own? I just don't want them to "suffer" without the guidance of momma? Every mature doe I'm seeing have yearlings with em......

I love to hear that and I'm the lucky one to get to work with Dylan! I wouldn't hesitate. Even in the extreme portions of Winter Severity, those fawns will hook up with other doe family groups and will make it just fine. The only time I see problems are when fawns sit on bait pikes in extreme northern regions where deer need to migrate to deer yards. I've seen that happen where a fawn doesn't leave because of easy food. The deep snows come, other deer leave but they basically get trapped and eventually the bait runs out...snows get too deep...they lack adequate thermal shelter...predators come thru. That can be a bad situation but in 99% of the rest of the country...no problem. Also, high fawn numbers is a great sign of a healthy, low winter severity area with little to no winter mortality. If you need to reduce the population I would take a mature doe...any mature doe 😊 Good luck and thanks a lot for watching!

It’s crazy to me that here in Arkansas we bow hunt from late September to February 28th.

Question. I see large branches in a lot of your videos in your water tubs. Is that so a critter can climb out if it falls in?? Or is there a deer reason? Also a good time to build box blinds to have ready to go for spring.

I check them every time I walk by them too. I had a dead raccoon (thinking distemper) in 1 last year and with black color of the tub you could barely see it.

Another great video, thanks Jeff. Mid Michigan mixed ag here. I have big beech to be cut down this winter but would it be beneficial to the deer to drop them as part of my December deer chores? Thinking maybe get double the reward of thinning out the canopy and getting those tree tops to the ground for food to hunt around the rest of this season. Thoughts? Thanks-Brian
