You are absolutely correct. I’m all over my land once a week or two in off season being noisy and using for recreation, then keep off month before deer season and saw multiple mature bucks in hunting season.

Works extremely well! And is a lot more enjoyable on the land 😊

I love going on my property all year. Clearing dead falls. Fertilizing. Checking cameras. I believe they have gotten used to my 4 wheeler. They don't see it as a threat.

We live using the land, a lot...although they certainly don't like any ATVs during the season 😉 We use them to get deer after dark only, during season

I would agree, with doe, I would have them come out to see what I was doing, but i think mature bucks won't tolerate it.

Enjoy it! In OH, I would be in that land if my tags were filled and no one around me was hunting...at least by Jan 1st or later. Would hate to wait until later unless I was spooking deer to neighboring hunters. Or wanted sheds 😊

Amen Been burning brush all January on my land the does just lay down and listen a few hundred yards away. Big bucks are off to their winter feeding grounds and will be back for the summer into the fall for when the food on the property peaks. Took into consideration all your advice over the years thanks.

I found a shed on my property this year for the first time this last Saturday I was actually setting traps for fur bearers. It was on the pathway to our feeder the deer use

I have no idea? Don't even really know the guy, or haven't talked to him in maybe 8-10 years? Don't consider him an actual competitor or anything, last I heard he goes to around 15 clients per year. So not sure? I do know he's killed some giants on his IL land but doesn't really hunt anywhere else that I've heard about. More of an outdoor writer

you cannot say it enough. dont pressure you land during the season. long time viewers all know this. newer people to the channel need to hear it over and over. same with talking about summer food

Hi Mike...so, so true! Kind of an industry trend with some is don't use the land in the off season...but then forget about pressuring the deer during the season by think scent containment, height of stand scent spray or bad access will work. The season should be the pinnacle of not pressuring deer, for the entire year.

I learned a lot with your videos (don't hunt but have a lot of deer in this area). Why do we always find dead ones in the same place year after year ....road kill....

@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751

I go everywhere on my property with my tractor or ATV, even during hunting season. I drive calm and slow, never faster than 20mph and I don't piss rev my ATV for fun. I see deer quite often while I'm working in my forest.

Hi Drew!! I noticed the need absolute full sun...then we still have some running in video, since August! Pretty awesome. Once charged, they add about 80% to 90% additional battery life, but they do die first. Once dead they won't be coming back until recharged. Hope that helps?

I'm just learning the property where I hunt now. I was out recently, and while following some tracks found a small area, maybe 10 feet across, with hundreds of tracks, fresh droppings, and a solitary bed. Buck bed?

Hi Jordan! Cutting bedding right now is perfect if needed. Food plots, food plot locations, hunter access and then stand locations with mock scrapes. Food is the foundation of all of it
