Jeff ,Thanks for the great videos! I own 15 acres on top of a vast mountain region here in the Moosic Mountains ofNE Pa. It’s mainly scrub oak, red oak and white birch. I watched the buckwheat/winter rye planting video and it worked great and saved a lot of time!

You help us out more than you know. Read all the books and love implementing your techniques. Like the thought of lining a food plot with a fruit bearing tree, I’m sure the herd would love that! Thanks again from Mississippi!

Thanks a lot and for sure! I've seen some giant lands that hunters have spent tens of thousands to improve that didn't manage the hunting pressure correctly...so very poor hunting. It doesn't take much...because there isn't much that isn't over pressured in the deer world!

Once again you gave me more things to think about! fortunately in my area (20 mile radius) I'm the only person who's got food plots and is making quality deer habitat. And from doing so I've seen more mature bucks in the last four months than I've ever seen. My actual area for deer is only 3 acres but the types of cover that surround my areas and the food plots I've made keep deer coming by 24/7. Only thing I'm gonna improve on is making it more secure for big bucks to come out in the deer where I won't pressure them! Clover and chicory with some alfalfa are a total weakness for blacktail Deer! Of course for apples and peaches

I started hanging these vines up in habitat change areas for them. Thanks .

Great video Jeff. It takes a lot of descipline For everyday you hunt or your in the woods, to think about how your effecting that mature buck by your actions. This goes for all size property’s...

Thanks Jim a little Brian! Hope it made a lot of sense...

100% agree! I read a study that they did in New York State a few years back. They tagged a 4 year old buck with a GPS collar. Every single night that buck would get up, walk a 12 mile circle and make it right back to the same bed that it got up from right at morning daylight. When people tell me about a giant that they get pictures of every night at 2 in the morning, it's nice to see but it doesn't mean that you will ever see that buck in daylight.

@@lancemerwin7864 mature bucks have a 3 Mike home range...largely at night, but also during the rut and also from shifting f on his Summer to Fall range. Most lands are not mature buck parcels. In fact in many 600-1000 acre blocks of deer parcels, there are truly zero places where a buck can safely call his daylight home. A quality season long food plot is only part of it, and if hunters are not managing the attraction of that plot, then they will spook more deer than the plot is worth. The more attractive the food source that is overly pressured...the further a buck has the potential to be spooked away from the plot. Also, the less of a chance a buck has to be anywhere near the plot during the daylight. Regardless though...when a buck is shot that far away from his home range...he had typically been pushed very, very hard. The older a buck gets I have found the smaller his daylight home range. It can be done and if you stick on the channel you can learn how to hold the attention of daylight bucks.... Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks again Jeff, I love the way you focus on the small parcels. I have a question. I mentioned before that my wife and I recently purchased 92 acres. We are going to plant 6 acres of chestnut trees on the very back of the property. The trees are more for our use to have a little income when we retire there in about 15 years. Due to chestnuts needing to be harvested at the beginning of the hunting season (mid Sept - late October) I am afraid this will be a negative impact on my hunting. The trees will be planted at the very back of my property bordering the neighbors Hay field. Do you think this will be a negative effect on hunting for me?

I'm doing 2 acres of a plot screen with 6 circular micro plots spaced out within it, connected by a matrix of narrow pathways. Would you have a suggestion for a mix to cover the gap from spring to summer/fall time frame? I'll plant to seed the pathways and then the openings half-n-half, thinking forage beans for one of them.

Deer rarely need summer food plots, in fact a lot of times they can do more harm than good. But it really depends on the situation. The local habitat, % of ag, etc. I would really consider breaking it down to only forages that are useful during the hunting season, for where you live. Summer food sources often don't actually help the nutritional levels of the local deer herd, and can actually increase doe numbers. I hope that helps a bit ..probably not what you wanted to hear?

Stand sites you can enter and exit without deer seeing, hearing, smelling you. Saddle hunt with portable climbing equipment that is light weight silent and leave nothing behind to show other hunters or for deer to find. Use cellular cameras with black light not infrared(deer and humans can see red light) and hide them up high in trees so hunters don’t find them and deer don’t see the lights go off. Using cellular cams you can figure out the land without constantly going out there and scenting up the place. Make a mock scrape as per his videos near your stand site. Good to go

Diane works roughly 60 hour weeks booking clients and shipping books. She tries to respond to everyone... Again I copied her on your comment...wish I had time to help her out, but I work 70-80 hours myself...per week.

When I plow for a food plot my mature bucks vanish and will not come near it

First off I wouldn't plow...try no till. But that being said there must be something else going on for sure...hunting pressure, lack of fall cover, ATV use, small game hunting, etc...something else besides just working up a food plot. Often that attracts deer to some degree.

Whitetail Habitat Solutions Ill say the deer hunting on this 22 acres is amazing! There are nice ridge tops with bottom areas , nice creek flowing threw . I been putting the plot on the gas line . Before I plow I feed corn there and all the deer are fine with anytime of day . As soon as I drop the disc mature bucks vanish and will be at my neighbors corn feeder . I’ve been thinking the grass will be nice and thick but when I cut they don’t like it no more . Should I just stop food plotting ?

Whitetail Habitat Solutions also what would you charge for a 30 min phone consultation?

Meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Brings them in all the time.

I disagree with what he says about a deer food plot vs bedding area @ 3:27 I don't know about where he hunts but in the heavily pressured south...you have a way better chance at killing that buck having adequate bedding then a food plot (not knocking food plots) ...sure you may get some pictures of him on your food plot but its at NIGHT at 1am, he never makes it to your food plot in the daylight. If you have a bedroom for him which in the south is a 50+ acres of overgrown clearcut..you have a slim chance of killing him coming back to it early in the morning or sneaking out of it in the late evening. Of course you may see some shooters on food plots if you have 350 acres or more of unpressured land...but we are talking about 40 acres...all you are gonna see is some does and spikes. Only chance you got is having ol slickhead out there hot and stinking right and you MIGHT catch that big boy slip up...Find you a place with some adequate security and hunt it...trust me..go listen to John Eberhart hunt Michigan public land giants...under right conditions he goes straight into that "sanctuary"

Unfortunately without an adequate food source you have zero deer to relate to that food source...that is anywhere a whitetail roams. After designing over 1000 whitetail parcels in 26 states since 2005 (125 in 2020 habitat season alone) this is what is glaring anywhere. BUT, even then I'm always leaning. When you gain that level of experience feel free to chime in but until then this is a channel for listening and learning 👍

Is it just me or does he never answer the question in the title

Why dont you do a vidio of all the comments you make in all your vids. That contradicts each other? One food plots hurt you. Another, mature bucks stay away from people around 200 to 250 yards away, such as the neighborhood. But yet more mature deer in Ga. Are shot in and around neighborhoods of Atlanta Ga. And within the city limits. I cant watch another vid. Or another word you say. Maybe true in your neck of the woods but not so in Ga. Come study the White tails in Ga. Then do a vid.

Actually I have been saying, teaching, writing about, creating videos, writing 5 books and nearly 700 articles for many, many years...saying the exact same things. If you don't see that, you just aren't paying attention. I suggest you spend a little more time within the info to learn, instead if simply looking for holes that really aren't there 😉

Can you give me advice on my land ? If so how do I contact you?
