[@hunterthornton246]

Can’t believe how fast the season goes by, excited to do some work for next season and look for sheds!

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

It is crazy how fast it goes by, every single year! Time for other things...in most states!

[@boneheadsoutdoors6555]

Already pickin some antlers here while checkin cams and messing around in the fields. I focus only on fields for another couple weeks or so then start getting into the woods. Good luck everyone.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Nice...good luck! We have none dropping yet around here except from wounded bucks

[@TS-nb9ko]

Thanks jeff.i must say I get a little bummed out every year when it's over.its so much fun.the work the build up to a great season then its over.😢

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

So true TS, it comes and goes so fast!

[@RCohen-cq6oh]

I make a to do list the day after the season closes,i try to get as much done between now and September,it goes so fast,even then i find myself in full panic mode come August,thats how i stay in touch with hunting during the off season,it sure helps to ease the pain!! Ecspecially if you are watching Jeffs excellent videos and taking his advice you will never run out of things to do!!

[@TS-nb9ko]

@RCohen-cq6oh I just think it's the initial thought that it's over.but thank you very much for the advice.

[@TS-nb9ko]

@@RCohen-cq6oh and I also agree with you 100 percent.happy hunting

Can’t wait to look for sheds this year

[@jasonmcrae2675]

I love shed hunting!!! I'm in Southern WI I still have January to hunt yet. Heading out this afternoon should be a good night just had sum snow this morning

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Hi Jason, good luck hunting! We can't wait to do some more hunting later this month in WI... especially for does!

[@Landsteward]

Love the thumbnail! We picked that one up Feb. 8th!

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Even better was you shooting him on December 13th 😁 Congrats again!!

[@austinvickymoore3656]

Great video! Cant wait to look for my first shed this year is already going to be insane!! I cant wait!

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Pretty awesome to be so excited...have a good time!

Great info man, always enjoy your content.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Thank you very much we really appreciate it!

[@janitorialguy4436]

Thanks Jeff

[@dswish1730]

I’m convinced they are still holding here.Last year I had 14 by now.This year?2 fresh and 2 old.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Hi D! Maybe more food available?! Almost all of ours are still holding both sparring and fighting too...

[@dswish1730]

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 I checked the neighbors food plots and wow he has it going on up there.15 to 20 acres of brassicas.5 acres of beans and a couple acres of brush hogged corn.They aren’t hungry that’s for sure.Ill give it a couple weeks and check the bedding areas.Put on 3.5 miles just walking the food plots.

[@mattyice9923]

Love the info Jeff! I haven’t gotten a deer yet and the place I live in is no hunting at all but man we have HUGE bucks. Can’t wait to go find antlers by my house. Got to see a monster non typical, too many points to count. I want that shed bad 😂

[@ScottWilkie40]

Saw two big bucks still holding today on Feb 9th

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

We still have over 1/2 holding here on Feb 10th.

[@carlo_scarpino]

Love the New SXS

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Thanks a lot Carlo!

[@marcmiller7588]

Last year we had bucks still holding antlers March 3rd on public land

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

We are that around here a lot too!

[@davemitchell7270]

What is cwd? Shooting over corn piles under cover of darkness. Not sure what you’re eluding to or about Jeff .

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Hi Dave! Chronic Wasting Disease. They have deer eradication zones where after the season, they create large corn piles here in SE MN on private land. They then wait a couple of weeks, go in aft r dark and shoot the deer that come to the piles. All that they can. They attract deer from Mike's in a harsh winter. The surviving deer then go back to where they came and because they were exposed to so many deer at the pikes, the potential they were exposed to CWD is high. They do this to lower the population and also test for CWD. It can ruin adjacent lands for deer hunting for years to come. A practice not very high on the common sense scale. Also very expensive for the state with very little accomplished. The state of WI spent over 20 million doing the same 18-20 years ago and realized it was futile, so they stopped. It's a shame these states don't learn from each other. The only folks that win are the sharpshooter contractors.

[@davemitchell7270]

Holy Mackerel! Now it clicks your anachronism for chronic wasting disease, so far that hasn’t spread prolifically here in southern Ontario to my knowledge. Was this awful scenario brought together by a shadow council advisory committee made up of bottom of their class biologists? Thanks Jeff .

[@johnduellman5760]

Did you ever figure out what really happend to all the deer that MN DNR poaches all winter? Do they just end up in a landfill after they take their sample for testing?

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

I believe they take samples for testing...but don't know anything certain. I do know last year from local law enforcement that 2 dump trucks full of deer left to go somewhere...but no one knows where that I personally know. Maybe with mouth calls and investigation a person could get some clarification...I wish I had the time to do that!

[@gerryandre3847]

Is the cost of alfalfa worth it, I have 103 acres with an old power line

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Absolutely not...not a great fall or winter food source at all. Look at it this way ..I own a food plot seed company and I wouldn't nev r sell it alone for deer. Decent In dry regions with irrigation out West... Montana, for example

[@gerryandre3847]

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 I will spend a little time on your website and figure out what's best here in WNC

[@Alexschmalenberg]

Jeff is there any information on where they bait in SE MN for these deer eradication shoots over corn piles you talk about? Such a waste of DNR $ and the deer resource.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Hi Alex! I haven't seen any. Last year I know they were out of Rushford at some point. Local law enforcement may know? I've heard of individual properties but only thru local, well connected folks. Like a vampire, they have to be given permission to enter your land (home). Hopefully someone will let us know if there are any schedules and location maps for any shootings taking place in 2024. Hopefully they run out of money...

[@Alexschmalenberg]

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751I hope they run out of funds too… surprised I haven’t seen any info on this besides from your channel. Doesn’t surprise me the DNR would be quiet about it though.

[@dylanthrall5657]

Jeff what screening grass can I plant in the woods

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Hi Dylan, nothing unfortunately! They all need full sun...

[@jeffking1798]

Off subject, but look up the description of "Camo Dust"....a scent neutralizer that claims....the wind will no longer be an obstacle........

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Unless they dust your breath, behind the ears, your sweat escapes in vapor around your boots... Crazy claims that will take some hunter $$$s I'm sure

[@jeffking1798]

@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 there is a lot of those out there....Here in E. TN. I smoke my clothing with oak or hickory...Camp fires and fireplaces are very common and this works very well and it's basically free !
