Don't kill it out let it grow Harvest it it makes the best and strongest black powder people like me will buy the wood from you😁

I really like the camo pattern you painted on, nice!

I have 2 Banks Vision 3 model blinds: one is a 2020 model the other is a new 2024 unit. Based on 4 + seasons of use may comments are: 1) the shape, size and construction quality of both units is excellent. 2) I am 5'8" and 160 pounds...the stand is very small for use of a vertical bow. For safety sake I need to get the arrow outside the window frame which can create movement and spooks animals. 3) the newer unit has 2 additional smaller windows that substantially improves all around visability.4) A product improvement would be the addition of "eyebrow" vision windows around the top rim of the unit. If a hunter stands up to stretch, etc it is impossible to look out any of the shooting windows without bending over like a hunchback to do so. 5) The addition of the entrance platform is a worthwhile expense and makes entry to the blind easier and a good deal safer than trying to transition from a top step directly into the blind itself....a bit of a pain to install but worth it.

The lock box camo looks good but the solar panel gives the camera away.

👍🏻

Cool video. My takeaway - you've got an incredibly juicy deer hunting property. Tons of cover, and lots of nice smallish sized ag plots. My other takeaway is that you have way too many plans and projects on the go. The best thing you can do, IMHO, is to spend less time tinkering and just set up dynamite spots (not permanent stands) that you can bounce around between. Keep the ag land - you aren't short on cover, and by the looks of it neither is the neighbourhood. What you want is to have the best food in the neighbourhood (and keep all your open areas in food) and to have the least pressure/human activity on your place in the neighbourhood. The deer will naturally gravitate to it if following this advice. Shrub and tree plantings are great to do in cover-limited areas, but in an area such as yours it's not going to make a smidgin of difference planting dogwood shrubs that the deer will just devour. Instead, focus on some small micro plantings of conifers in key areas that you want thick and good late season thermal cover. Get a farmer to plant 1/2 the land in corn and the other half in soybeans and alternate if that is the crop rotation in the area. Then adjust where you hunt depending on where the activity is in a given year. Ideally, you'd have a field or two (say 10 acres) that are just deer food fields (e.g., fall greens like peas and radish) every year. Tinkering less, hunting smarter, having good and plentiful food, and having bulletproof access will do more wonders for quality hunting and growing old deer than any other activity you could do. All this is of course just my opinion. Last opinion - sell all your permanent blinds and get a tree saddle and adapt to changes in deer use of your land over the season and across seasons. I'm sure all of this will combine to yield very pleasant results.

I planted some last year but I don’t think they made it. Too Sandy and dry in my area of Dunn County. Thinking of switch with popple and cedar pockets

Hey new subscriber here great video mate catch you on the next one buddy😊benny

thats so smart thanks I will be watching👍👍👍

Great video very helpful!! Have a small apple tree I planted last year, any suggestions on how to help it grow better?

Was able to dig 25 holes today and stage hoops ,100 more to go ,so early this year

I've used old carpeting as a weed barrier like this. It's free and it works really well!

Why are your t posts upside down?

What does you consider logged hard? Down to 15 inches or 12 inches?

greed ruins our land.

i seen where they loged and now a rabbit cant go thru it its so think.

If a logger doesn’t clean up in different ways, not a respectful logger , too many logger’s are hit and run.

Great video! I've been at war with buckthorn at the cabin for few years. Its quite the battle. Certainly enjoying your videos 😁

Is this property near Blair? Think I heard you are in Northern Wisconsin. What's the nearest city? I'm northecentral Wisconsin. Your property looks northwestern Wisconsin

Edit your drone footage to remove your gps coordinates

Different varieties of persimmon trees fall into cold weather may be good early season plot and they taste absolutely amazing may try a couple different types of fruit trees so you aren’t attracting to many does with the fruits falling all at once?

Egyptian wheat for a single season plot screen turn around. Then plant switchgrass against it it’ll take 2 seasons to provide plot screen for the switch.

Transplant red willows. I'm about to go crazy on some family land with them for cover and to thicken up areas

Need to add some screening around your plot to allow you to access and exit the stands if deer are in the plot

Hey man. I use Muddy XL hang on stands but will look into the Big Foot. The Muddy has the same assembly as Big Game. Not a big deal for me since I have several. Always looking for a better product so thanks for the video. Subscribed!

I grew up in Blair and still hunt that area…just found your videos tonight…keep up the great work

That's an impressive piece of land you've put together, very much enjoyed the tour...following.

The fastest way I have found, and I have been deer hunting for 60 years, is to use one of the replacement surgical blade scalpels. I use Havalon with the 70XT blade and handle that fits. The whole process takes about 10 minutes to cut the hide off. No soaking or other messing around.

Fantastic idea ..they look delicious

Blank canvas for sure I think the big thing is undetected access to your stand. I watch the same guys you do. This could become a doe factory too easy. Big open hardwood not good habitat. You don't want to pull every deer for a mile at night and have them gone at daylight.

What’s the best way to go about with a red pine plantation like you have mentioned? We have a 70 that is a pine plantation with little oak understory and I’d like some of your input!

A few things, I noticed from your video. That, I might have done differently. I'm not an expert, so I might be offering bad advice. Some bends and turns in your trails might be helpful. Maybe some slight bends and turns so deer feel more comfortable using the trails during daylight. The area with the house would be a good place for you to blow your scent back into. But once the oak trees start producing acorns, i feel your access is going to have random deer feeding on acorns. This might not be great for deer free access, in my opinion. I have problems seeing how even the pros design projects and I often wonder what winds might work for different stand locations. I think your video was one of the best I have seen. I enjoyed the drone footage and how you said we are here. Then you panned out and explained deer bed here. Your video was easy to follow. Good job.

Great video

Great question! Its a Potensic SE, I found it on Amazon and it was highly rated, and I’ve been very happy with it, however it doesn’t have a gimble for the camera and my next one will- the gimble adjust for turbulence and makes for smoother footage

What drone do you have? Don't think you've mentioned that yet.

👍🏼🦌

Great information, very helpful for my upcoming project!

Can't go wrong with these regardless of your seasoning preferences! A prized meal!! Our favorite marinade is olive oil, soy sauce and greek seasoning. Mouth watering....

Thank you sir!

Useful info buddy , cheers

Honored… Good luck brother.

I am a work in progress! UGH I wish I had more excitement and volume in my intro!!!!!!!! Working on it!!!

I have used all of those different stands plus others definitely cheaper switched to millennium m60 altralight all aluminum a few years ago definitely a lot more money but well worth it for a all day sit

I look forward to your videos. I am planning on starting a channel and podcast in 2024. Good luck and God bless.

How do you maintain your stand against rodents and other wildlife

Maybe I'm an odd duck, but I HATE foot rests. I have a Gorilla hang-on. It's a great stand, but the footrest was welded on and it always felt in the way of my toes, so I cut it off with a Sawzall. My legs don't benefit from foot rests from either hang-on or ladder stands. I feel they are major trip hazards on ladder stands. Informative video and good info here!
