12 Month Whitetail Habitat and Hunting Management Checklist

[@joebrom6225]

At 17:41 in the video there is a deer that ran from left to right way out in the distance over his head

[@randlerichardson5826]

Hey brother. Glad to see another video as always.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Thanks Randle! In the beginning of visiting 7 clients in 8 days...my comments back will be spotty unfortunately 🙂

[@randlerichardson5826]

Whitetail Habitat Solutions hey that’s perfectly all right brother. Just holler when you can GOD BLESS be safe out there Amen. I’ve got kin folk in Michigan my cousin in-law own a big parts store up there somewhere. Not sure where. GOD BLESS.

Whitetail Habitat Solutions prayers for your safety brother GOD BLESS Amen. I can’t remember where bouts my kin folk live up there. GOD BLESS.

Jeff, Great info.....it is certainly a 12 month commitment. Planted switch grass yesterday, will spray this week. Thanks for all your help...I'm anxiously awaiting final plan and planting instructions. thanks, Bob

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Sounds great Bob...I would spray that Simazine quick! Almost spring green up. Once spring green up takes place, too late to spray Simazine. Final plan will be of course about the same as the drawing given to you at the end if the first day...probably Sunday will have time to send over the planting instructions for August 🙂

[@kylewhanger175]

Jeff, could you make a video for us hunters who hunt land that have cattle? I know cattle place a lot of limitations on the habitat but I was wondering what ideas you may have.

[@bailey-bl8nz]

I've watched or read just about everything Whitetail Habitat Solutions has put out and rely solely on WHS for my habitat improvement journey. I do have one question that I have not been able to find anywhere on your platforms or across the internet. How can I improve my flats of marsh grass? The area is wet during the spring but the rest of the year is fairly dry. There are small pockets of red osier dogwood, but having difficulties getting those pockets to grow. Any advice on the proper way to beef up the open marsh grass to create deer bedding areas? What shrubs, trees, or grass to plant, when to plant & how?

[@randlerichardson5826]

That little deer still had spots but had horns in velvet.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Very cool!

[@randlerichardson5826]

Whitetail Habitat Solutions never seen on like that. I killed a 90 pound button Buck one year. I had a anterless tag I thought it was a big doe. GOD BLESS.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

@@randlerichardson5826 that's a good size BB Randle!

[@randlerichardson5826]

Whitetail Habitat Solutions I still can’t get over that spotted up young deer with the rack. That is amazing. GOD BLESS.

[@copedipper7654]

I like working year around on my land doing all I can to improve it and hold the Deer on my property. Luckily the back half of my 323 acres is really thick so the Deer of plenty of bedding areas and we also have food plots there to. I do want to add some water holes so they won’t have to go all the way to the creek to get water, I’m trying to come up with a tank that I can use for hauling water once I get the holes put in place. Love your videos and thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@kevinflaherty8885]

I just recently discovered your deer hunting videos and find them very informative.i especially like how u make mock licking branches and the attention they receive from deer.i hunt small private land and public land and have considerable success at both locations.keep the videos coming.

[@jetdrvr5909]

Another great video, thanks...Have you purchase your new property yet??

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Not yet Grady...supposed to close in about 2 weeks. Can't wait!

[@rfb7117]

Thanks Jeff.....sprayed Simazine today. Will cut the deer trails with the forester machine on Monday. Bob

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

You are very welcome Bob ..that sounds great! Very nice to hear...

[@randlerichardson5826]

A good drizzly summer eve I love to drive around and look at deer now. Me and my wife do it.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Am incredibly relaxing time to spend together eh Randle?

[@randlerichardson5826]

Whitetail Habitat Solutions yes sir brother GOD BLESS.

[@richstafford1245]

Try pre orbital gland scent from Smokey’s deer lure on your vine setups. Started using it a few years ago Jeff and it is a game changer.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Hi Rich...I've found for nearly 20 years that no scent is the best scent...check this video out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5uWnI1jgLuFd68

[@randlerichardson5826]

I’ve got one gobbler that’s on my hit list. Rain or shine I’m goin to get him LORD WILLING AMEN. I set yesterday morn and listened to him blow the top out of the tree he was in while I was 1/2-3/4 of a mile on the other hillside. His days are numbered wait and see. Great video brother ASAP I’m goin to get your newest book. I’m wanting to read it bad. Thank you for sharing and don’t forget me on the hats or boggings. Prayers for you and your family GOD BLESS Amen.

[@Davylemke]

Is that a deer running the back field at 2:35?

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Hi David, ha...fooled me fora second too! Cars on the main road heading into town...

[@mainenorthwoodshunter3265]

Great information for A year-round schedule. Here in Maine, the snowpack up north keeps me out of the woods longer than I want to. A lot of lands I hunt is paper company land and Mud season is in effect. We have to stay off of the roads so we do not destroy them. There is a whole lot of waiting going on right now.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Thank you! We are just a few weeks ahead if you...I switchgrassed on mostly ground and a little snow on Monday, Simazine too. O think on my client property in northern lower Mi tomorrow we will be on snowshoes...today and yesterday just patches of snow but a lot of frost in central MI still. Love the melt!

[@Miguel_Travels]

You always put out great content.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

The k you very, very much that means a whole lot to me Miguel! I always appreciate your feedback

[@ExodusOutdoorGear]

Very helpful and thorough video, thanks Jeff!

[@stevedenoyer5956]

Whitetails are year round, so much fun to always be learning or adding stuff to your story. Thanks for the videos Jeff, really look forward to watching them.

[@danplanck4058]

Thanks for the vid and info Jeff. Usually now threw early summer when we cut firewood we do it around treestands for shootin lanes or next treestand spot. Makes cutting firewood way more fun

[@MySliceOfHeavenoutdoors]

Great Great Info Jeff. I found the part about deer summer time habit being so true. This past season was the first time for me hunting my own land. I stuck trail cameras out in June. Seen all sorts of deer movement. Figured I would stick a blind up there. August comes, I put up my blind and have a 6 week wait for the hunting season. The deer movement was practically gone except for yearlings and young deer. Found out later after putting a few more trail cams out that the deer Used the very back part of my property during the rut and winter. This was something that I did not know about till this year. I thought If I was seeing them in June, they would be there during the hunting season. Now I know not.

[@jacobwelsch9524]

Where would you recommend buyng switchgrass seed? I live in Central WI, and I really would like to purchase some switchgrass. I just don't know hwere to find any. Thanls for the help

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Hi Jacob! I would go straight to John Komp of Northwoods Whitetails. Great guy, sells in small amounts.

[@jacobwelsch9524]

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 Thank you!

[@JustMe-999a]

There's this thing called Google. You type something like, "switchgrass seed for sale", and then hit enter. For your own safety, you might want to consider wearing a helmet 24/7.

[@deercamp3479]

I like the tip of strategising for the next year while in your stand. Especially in the gun season I will bring a pen and paper with me and write down things I’ve learned and new ideas and strategies for the next year.makes the time go by quicker and gets you fired up for plans for the offseason etc.has helped a lot by writing it down.great video!😉

Jeff, your content is awesome. Thank you!

[@jrb161775]

You've probably answered this before. What brand or style of trail cam do you use?

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

I have used Exodus Trail cams... the Lift II model. This will be my 4th season and they are outstanding! Here is a link to check them out... bit.ly/JSturgis 5 year warranty and I have had zero hunting season failures. 2" viewing screen, true HD video and extremely high quality. I am running up to 20 trail cams at one time and regardless of the B roll I need for videos...I rely on the trail cams heavily for learning buck behavior, in season census, buck home range and for making informed hunting decisions. OUTSTANDING trail cameras, after hundreds of thousands of pics and videos over 3 full hunting seasons I can highly recommend.

[@leroyarnold9718]

I live in eastern Oklahoma with the majority of the soils in my area are Hectorville which is a predominantly clay soils with 3 to 10% slopes. Any recommendations as to vegetation that would be suited?

[@rfb7117]

Question off the subject...but do you recommend seeding down the deer trails after the forester makes them, and what are the green ribbons? Thanks again for all the help. Bob

[@wbsurfer123]

I’m sure I’ve seen a video on it but can’t remember. But will a buck re-use a rub line they’ve made in the past in the new season?

[@randlerichardson5826]

Thank you for sharing your info brother. I’m getting ready to put a plot in around turkey hunting that is lolllll. It’s a disease you understand I know that. I love deer hunting but turkeys they make my blood boil to now. Nothing like watching a big long beard strutting into shooting range.
