Watching some deer in the field while watching this, doesn't get much better than that!

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Now that's awesome!! 😊 Sounds mighty enjoyable snd relaxing...

[@whitetailhabitatandhunting]

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 Sure is! Got a small but decent sized buck out there!

In regards to “practice makes perfect”. John Dudley recently said something that has really stuck with me. “Perfect practice, makes perfect”

Definitely a decades onl great saying...one of my favorites!

Moon phase may not influence deer, but check who harvested a “first” today….!

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Ha, good job Kurt 😁

Lol 🤣

I think selling 2# bags of straight tillage radish seed next year would be a hot seller 👍🏼

[@mikaelschnupp6182]

weather truly does impact deer movements...great topic to talk about!!!

[@alexpinnow6509]

Great video Jeff, went for a drive and found a big bachelor group of bucks about a mile away from the farm. Look forward to them moving in this fall!

[@bowman8316]

Happy Saturday ! Found a couple mid 140s and Lots of does with zero fawns... so many yotes around here. Thanks for another great video ! 🌾🦌🏹

Your like my KZbin uncle with all the info ! Thank you this helped me so much

[@copedipper7654]

I know this video wasn’t about Mock Scrapes but I just wanted to let you know that I watched some of your videos about Mock Scrapes a few years ago and I decided to try it, I followed your instructions to a tee and the results have been absolutely Amazing, I’ve got tons of pictures of Bucks, Does and Fawns using the Mock Scrape. Thanks for all that you do for the Deer hunting community!!!

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Man I love to hear that hope you enjoy them 😊

[@lucashunter6163]

Hi Jeff, I was curious what you usually have your Earthway set to for your brassica blend seeding? Also, thank you for all of the great advice and content!

[@kurtpearson2793]

Any advice strategies for agg adjacent borders? I’ve got corn/soy next to our line.

[@DairylandLegends]

Great video, Jeff! Are you still partnering with Northwoods Whitetails or are you doing this completely separate as your own thing?

[@drewharman1690]

Jeff you talk about rotating your brassicas will radish cause root fungus in the same field twice in a row like turnips?

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Hi Drew, I use at low %s in the green blend and also rotate a crop of buckwheat in between the plantings to avoid any potential problems

[@chrismacomber9727]

Great video brother I tried the winter rye last year and for some reason it never came up till this spring is there a reason for that? I live in NC

[@alexkreger316]

Hi Jeff! Thanks again for the awesome video. Any WHS hoodies coming out? Shirts? Thank you.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Hi Alex I think soon? Likely more hoodies than T-shirts. We at least have some hats 😊

[@alexkreger316]

Thanks Jeff!

[@kurtpearson2793]

Will we see WHS switchgrass (Canadian!), rye, or buckwheat? An entire system of plotting that covers the foundation of plotting?

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Amen Kurt 😊 As you can imagine we will only carry the best of whatever we carry!

[@ozarkhabitatcreations9706]

Jeff can I plant beans with brassica reason askin I have my plots split in half but have 150 lbs of left over beans that I was gona toss in my smaller plots

[@scottbryant6349]

Jeff, how would you go about summer scouting in situations like Minnesota where cams are illegal on most public and the parcels are pretty small and accessible and usually don't hold many deer as much as are transition areas?

[@JayN4GO]

Actually had nothing to do with scouting in the summer. Good job

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Except for scout after Summer cold fronts, notice those patterns of change and how they have an impact on deer movement and then apply them to your Fall hunt 😉 Practice now for later success...

[@jasonmeyer4587]

Just curious everyone's thoughts on sugar beets for food plot if planted as a monoculture at the proper time without mixing with other seed species.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Very poor choice unless fenced in nearly all situations. If fenced they can be awesome! I've even seen fenced and irrigated which can be incredible. Almost all fail tho, because they aren't fenced or they are planted in a brassica mix. They also need to be planted alongside something else...the other 1/2 of the plot. If someone was going to take the time to Fence, I would go with beans over beats in most situations. We are actually fencing beans today...

[@stephenmcatee2104]

I planted them in northern mo a few yrs ago and they grew like crazy, later in the season they stunk to high heaven, the deer ate them though,

[@gregallman3715]

Hi Jeff, getting ready to plant tillage radish and brassica on my first try at a food plot. Are there some seed you can't spray Gly over? In a video from last year you noted about using round up ready beans and corn. So I guess that's the reason for my question.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Hi Greg! You can spray Gly directly over all seeds...been doing that for 20 years and 100s of acres of plantings. When spraying Gly on beans and corn, that takes place when the plants are growing...say 12 to 18" high for corn. We also use roundup and 2-4D ready Coen and beans. That refers to when they are growing and you xan actually spray on the plants weeks after they germinate.

[@alexpinnow6509]

Like Jeff said, ALL seed is tolerate of glyphosate; gly is a post-emergent killer and will not harm any seed whatsoever.

[@gregallman3715]

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 Thanks for the clarification Jeff! Little things like that are helpful to understand for us first time food plot guys (or at least me 😁).

[@stevenheathman3942]

First year food plot as well Greg. Thanks for asking this question because it helped me as well!

[@rickhelps9879]

What happened to the bean component in the bean pea mix?

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Hi Rick! I haven't really relied on the beans for a fee years, personally? They are temperamental for germination the way most food plotters plant and they offer less volume in a short growing season than buckwheat or tillage radish. So what I have been doing is adding a layer of buckwheat and then tillage radish to the traditional WHS blend from several years ago, and adding more peas. That dilutes the oats and allows for more green. My own mix is based on more what I do personally each season and it goes back to my roots from over 20 years ago.

[@gavinbenz9034]

The problem is I can’t scout bucks in the summer cuz they don’t exist until mid to late august

[@bowman8316]

Drive around at the crack of dawn... you'll find them all together in an undisturbed area. I found my 7 bucks in an abandoned field a mile and a half from the rest of the herd ! Good luck man 👍🏼

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Not a bad thing for sure! We find our Fall Bucks within 2 miles...in the fields in the evening

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 I have a 4 acre corn plot is it a good idea to knock down a couple acres of the corn or leave it all standing?

Hi John...that's a from a MN company. Master manufacturing...owned by Valley Industries.

[@billcook9200]

5 buck pics. Nothing over a 6. All summer. Just crap. Having your own land and trying to make good decisions for the habitat is difficult. Sucks

[@bowman8316]

If you have good depth bedding and fall food .. the good bucks will show oct 1st to 10th. Hang in there man 👍🏼

[@whitetailhabitatandhunting]

That's not a bad thing! That's a really good thing! If you have fall habitat they should be there during the fall, like David Bowman said!

[@daronmiller943]

I have 0 bucks on camera right not . Not expecting to get pictures until early September .. This has repeated the last 4 yrs and have had great action in oct. to Jan.. If you have good fall greens / brasica mix and some bedding you will be just fine 👍
