Ticks are bad everywhere this year and they keep getting worse. I would like to know if the government could spray for them like they do for the gypsy moths . They should be able to come up with some kind of spray start spraying to get this under control. We can't keep letting this go and getting worse every year.

Shame our state has no protocol for treating this other than 200mg Doxy if within 72 hours. I've used a few drops of Povidone iodine with a dusting of Doxy on a bandaid as my personal go-to for topical treatment, but keeping Doxy Hyclate on hand is essential. The super-tiny ticks that embed deep, quickly, and undetectable if not for a bump, are frustrating.

Our place is 16 acres and fortunately our state allows us to feed deer.We could only get to our stand sight via a ridge road that runs Right in the middle of the property So,,I start conditioning the deer to my electric golf cart by taking food,,corn,, fruit and mineral by hauling them plenty to eat daily around lunch time.Our blind is always there along with a water bowl(large one)..We also keep cameras running so we can see what's coming in.When wind direction is right for the blind and deer are coming in,,I do everything the same with one minor change,, I leave my wife in her very comfortable chair in the blind and I drive the buggy back to the house.5 mature buck in 5 years proves it can be done.

Nice video, are you doing your hinge cutting now? It’s the end of May. I wasn’t sure if I should hinge cut now or if I should have done it when the sap first started flowing in the spring.

Great info. I might of missed this in the vid, is there a window when you shouldn't hinge cut? I have some invasives that I am trying to control but would like to hinge cut at some point this year
@EpicWhitetailHabitatLLCАй бұрын
Anytime you have a saw in your hands is a great time to hinge cut. However, if you are dealing with oak wilt from now until August I would not cut. The property shown in this video has very few oak in the strategic areas of concentration.

I ordered 50 red osier dogwood shoots from Brian Bennet last spring. I planted them, using his instructions, in an area that stays pretty wet in all but the hottest, driest conditions. Over a year later, I counted 39 of those shoots with robust top-growth. Very encouraging results.

If you want to change a path of a deer. Try riding a dirt bike down their path turning off that path toward your deer stand. They will follow that path made by the warm single track of the dirt bike. Really
