• 
  @northernforestwhitetail7 күн бұрын

  @@chriswigington1572 we are glad to have you in the hunting community. A hunting funnel is any type of land feature that guides a confluence of deer movement into a confined area. For example, an hour-glass shaped high ground area surrounded by swamp would funnel deer thru the skinny pinch. Maybe it’s a bottle neck area of clear cut that has a lot of rut sign. It could be a swamp island that attracts deer. I’ve got a couple videos on this that go into more detail on my channel if you want to watch those. Good luck 👍

  I planted about 250 christmas trees this spring. All free , roadside trees. I have about 90 % success rate. Drying roots is the main cause of loss. I usually go for smaller than whats shown in video. I don't do any deer prevention and it is an issue but Im going for a natural situation. I'm also planting white, black, and norway spruce so far and a few hemlock and as you mentioned deer don't bother them much.

  I do the same thing on sandy soil here in central MN. But I use Buckwheat & then when it comes to full maturity I let it seed naturally during the driest time of the summer. Much less weeds that way & u never have to bring weed seeds to the surface goes thar sand that was tilled years ago doesn't need it again. The most important part of doing Buckwheat this way is to plant a clover/brassica blend that favors forage radishes rather than turnips. Turnips which aren't as efficient ➕️ they take up too much space & stunt themselves when the seed is too thick. I like to plant this the 1st week of August when there's a likelihood that we will be getting rain. I always broadcast fall seed & come back a couple of day b4 a rain & flatten the Buckwheat which is probably easier to do than rye. More bees & butterflies around during the summer also. This is important since milkweed is evidently on the endangered list in my area. 😮

  Yeah that’s a good method (broadcast seed into standing buckwheat then smash it down) if you have good soil. If you are in real sandy soils, you will get lower germination rates that way.

Understory is ferns and very thin/ sparse grasses. Dry sandy soil I planted winter Rye in a couple areas and the rye worked great in the fall, but just blew up populations of wildlife in the area in the spring I’m debating on doing some control burns to clean out the thatch in a few areas and do a spring/ early summer planting of winter rye with pollinators letting a few areas stand for security cover, then the food plots, mowing/discing the inside for planting a fall crop later on, but leaving the outside rye standing for a feathered edge Is that a bad idea!?

• 
  @northernforestwhitetailАй бұрын

  If you plant winter rye in the spring/early summer, it won’t get very tall or seed out that first year. It needs a winter freeze cycle to release it the following spring. Then it will get tall and seed out. So you may not be real happy with the results that first summer. You could consider grain sorghum instead for an early summer planting. That gets 3’-4’ tall and provides structure/cover. It also produces a large seed head which the deer and turkey will hammer in the fall.

•

  @@northernforestwhitetail I wondered if a spring planting would be enough time to produce a viable seed head, but that makes sense!

So stick to the standard fall planting in preparation for the following spring is the best bet!! Thank you!

• 
  @northernforestwhitetailАй бұрын

  It’s better to do a “less frequent, deep watering” than to do a “more frequent, shallow watering”. Meaning, water once a week if it’s dry and soak them good. That will encourage downward root growth as the tree tries to chase the water down into the soil column. Will promote deeper roots that way. If you water daily but only a little at a time, that will encourage roots to stay up by the surface. I personally don’t use any potting soil or mulch. I just make the transplant and let them go. Some folks will use fertilizer stakes (buy at a Menards or something place like that) and I know they have encouraged faster growth that way.
