Deer Trail Planting Tips
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
While logging trails should rarely be planted into a food plot, there ARE cases where certain trails definitely should be! Are you planning on planting your logging trails this season? Think again! Make sure to watch this deer trail planting video before you plant your deer trails...

"Not" doing stuff is what I'm best at! Thanks for always putting out useful content!

Ha, I like that...and you are very welcome!! Have a great weekend UA
Planted my buckwheat yesterday. Been working on my plots for the last month every weekend. Can’t wait to get back into them end of July. I look forward to the new videos every few days. Thanks Jeff.
Watching this as I sip a cold beer while taking a break broadcasting buckwheat in my plot. You're spot on about the shade. My plot is in the woods. The southern edge gets a lot of morning shade. CLEARLY doesn't do as well as the mid to northern end.
Glad I watched this video. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thanks Jeff! Worked on my new 1/4 of an acre food plot yesterday!
love the aerials to show us better what your teaching! bring more
Good stuff 👍 Thanks Jeff! Have a great day all!

Thanks a lot Steve, you are very welcome...definitely always a plan!
I think I'll try this for my next project. Thanks Jeff!
Here in NJ we can bait 24/7. I did use a grass logging road mix that my Forrester recommended. I did however put some clover in there so I have clover on some of my logging roads but they still all go to my deer feeders so really hasn’t changed for me putting some clover on my logging roads. Every property is different love the info that you give great channel.
That new property is going to fit that spot well!! Very cool!!

I can probably guess who you’re talking about, and his and Jeff’s methods are very very similar, they just focus on different things in their video. You can’t plant anything Jeff’s talking about without the soil being correct. Both talk about soil building with buckwheat/cover crops, one just goes more into WHY buckwheat is good for the soil. Both talk about the negatives of disc’ing. Both talk about terminating with glyphosate. Both give a schedule when to plant what, and when to crush the buckwheat. Etc. Take what you can use from both guys.
Appreciate the content Jeff. Would love to see the design of your property layout on the pad sometime like you’ve done in the past.
Two guys having a lot of fun.yet being so much help to a lot of us.I hope like you I'm sure reach a lot of young hunters, stimulating them to be better hunters and perhaps owning their own land. I also can see the two of you having some funny moments in your filming where you about die laughing.Heh thank God you can edit .I don't know what made me think of that. Love your vi dios.have a great memorial dad weekend
Great stuff!!
Thanks for all your videos, Jeff. I planted a 100 foot connector trail last weekend with Northwoods Seclusion. Connects two food plots each with different offerings. I have stands at both ends and would never have to touch the trail to access either. Hope it works out.

That all sounds great Whitney! You are very welcome 😊
I do plant the logging roads that run east to west here,I’m fortunate enough that I get plenty of sun and my clover does very well here.
Great content Jeff.

Thank you Mitchell, really appreciate you watching!!
Shorts and muck boots. Glad to see I’m not the only one who fills their boots with seed.
Was waiting for a video on this, so many food plot seed companies are touting this and it blows my mind.

Just realized this was a year, but still so many seed companies are talking about "food highways".

Just a way to get you to buy more seed if you think you need to plant all of your trails!
we used to have a snowmobile trail thru our property. the deer would use it to walk on the packed snow. when there wasnt any snow they still used it.
Thanks, Jeff. I made the logging trail food plot mistake a few years ago. Totally wrecked the deer hunting on my section of our lease. Never again.

Dang...sorry to hear that! So much bad advice out there about this practice that it is easy to think it is a great idea. I hope that you have a great season and that the information helps you out!
I see you have heavy dead thatch on your newly sprayed trail, how do you deal with that? I'm dealing with the same as well on my new food plot I'm creating on an old fallow field. Thank you Jeff, as always.
Just finished spraying my 3 acres with a back pack, I will be getting a boom sprayer next year 😂😂 thanks for all the knowledge.

How long did that take you? I have a few very small 75x75 or 50x100 plots in the woods I'm thinking about switching from a 2gal hand sprayer.

That's a lot of work Carter! I've been doing about 2 ac with a backpack the past 2 years. Went out and bought a ATV boom sprayer last week haha!
I came back to this video because I am considering planting a long strip of a logging trail (parallel to my boundary) that would connect two strong lines of movement including more of a destination plot on my 68 acres. I do not use this trail for accessing stands. What are your thoughts on using the trail for deer recover via ATV? After hours/dark, engine running, etc. As always thanks for the awesome content.
So Jeff when are yoyu planting your buckwheat into youe rye? Im thinking this coming week/weekend also at 50lbs/acre has it ever been too thick that your fall food plot growth could not push through the thatch?
What steps do you take when initially planting buckwheat? Would cultipacking be beneficial? Should I just broadcast it and leave it? Do I need to spray glyphosate after seeding?
Jeff, do you know if real young switch grass is a pale green. I burned some switch, and a real pale green grass is coming in. I was going to spray it and replant it, but decided to give it a chance and let it grow to see what it is.
Can you please talk about how to plant in northern all wood settings
Hey I have a question I hunt in virginia on about 30 acres and there's a old pipe line under ground that's open but the only thing I see grown on there is briar bushes would it be good to kill off the briars and put some king of food plot there there is a running river that fallows the pipe like maybe40 yards from that particular spot
What would you recommend for non-food plantings on logging trails. I am only looking to avoid erosion and reduce sloppy muddy messes. I am also trying to increase accessibility as now if we get rain I can not drive as it is too slick for a 4wd pick-up
I’ve got a new hunting area that has not been seriously hunted before and there is a major deer trail right where my only access is I’ve thought about Egyptian wheat to funnel the deer away from this trail??
If you don't access or parts of logging trails without ag land for 1/2 mile without taking much trees down, as deer are concentrated selectors- utilizing the trails planting highly digestible forage is a big Yes for myself especially hunting deer around perimeter that exits inside out!
Planting logging roads is mostly done to prevent erosion in my county. Actually its often required if your in a forestry program. Im in buffalo county and many properties are very steep. Another point that is that there is so much natural food in the woods that deer often prefer over food plots. So planting your trails and logging roads has very little impact on your hunting success.
I think you spend more money feeding deer every year than I spend feeding myself. ☺😂😅
You don’t want to mow/spray all your trails do you?
What about stopping erosion?

Definitely like I was saying...a road mix, shade tolerant grasses..rye grass. Something non deer food for sure.
"We put up our blind and build the habitat around it 💪" Are there any videos specifically for poor people?

Sure, it takes no money at all to do your #1 improvement....and that is, do NOT let the deer on your property know they are being hunted. All the habitat improvement $$$$ in the world won't help you much if you don't do that, and, for the most part, that's free!!!
What happened to your theory of big box blinds spooking deer? You have them everywhere now lol

If you fail to plan....you plan to fail.
