Habitat Management For Deer And Other Wildlife | Creating Deer Bedding Areas

NDA's Chief Conservation Officer and Wildlife Biologist Kip Adams discusses the importance of creating and managing early successional habitat. Often overlooked by landowners, early successional habitat provides great bedding cover while also adding diverse native browse for deer and other wildlife. This practice is inexpensive and easy to maintain throughout the whitetails range.

Thanks for sharing the information keep on bringing it

[@kurtcaramanidis5705]

Good video. Wouldn't you want a mix of early successional growth and woody browse? I have a similar setup as you but lots of young cottonwood, boxelder and willow. The deer are hammering the young free trees as well as the other young plants.

[@Whitetail_Properties]

Yes, correct. woody browse is what sustain deer through these late winter months when other browse is limited or non existent.

[@kybucks5086]

What herbicide would be used to kill the grasses in the early succession fields?

[@Whitetail_Properties]

A 2oz per gallon solution of glyphosate should do the trick!

I'm not a believer in your method. I'm going back to my best KZbin videos WHS with over 200k happy subscribers

[@Whitetail_Properties]

Good deal!

You must not be listening to WHS while watching those videos. Jeff will repeatedly say that woody browse and early successional growth is key to managing a herd.
