How to Create a Property That Steals Your Neighbor's Bucks

Building a property that manages your does and fawns while simultaneously creating space to attract additional bucks can be a challenge. In this video, I go over the strategy I use to achieve exactly that which results in more daylight bucks on my property during the hunting season.

TEXAS checking in here, North Central deer hunting, Throckmorton Cnty

Thanks for watching!

[@Sandwichking-hikes]

Good advice, fall and winter are lowest hole in the bucket for year round food. I’ve also planted fall and early winter ripening dunstan chestnuts and persimmons to supplement fall food plots

[@HobbyHarvest]

Yup, definitely want to focus on creating qualify food to attract them during the hunting season and then sustain them through the hardest months when food isn't easy to find to get them into next season.

[@mattalderton3723]

Good information tks

[@HobbyHarvest]

No problem!

[@markheidema3699]

Great video Ken, do you use watering troughs on your property? Any idea on these and how to utilize them on small properties? tks, Mark-Mich.

[@HobbyHarvest]

I do not but I would use them where you want to influence movement between bedding and food. I'd throw a mock scrape near it as well. Great location for a stand.

Southwest Virginia Mt and Low bottoms what you suggest food wise for a plat or two??? Thanks good vid

[@jodywight629]

have 10 acres in okla, 70 percent eastern red cedar, do i need to get rid of some or hinge cut cedar trees, i have 7 does and 4 small bucks, all muture bucks are nocturnal, i hunt edges only with wind in my face, i have hinged cut several trees, i have the thickest are in 5 miles

[@HobbyHarvest]

Deer are always looking for browse in those thick areas so it would be worth it to try to encourage things other than your conifers to grow in those areas. There's no use hinge cutting conifers so I'd focus on clearing a few out that are soaking up the most of your sunlight. The more sun down to the floor, the more browse will grow for the deer.

I hunt in a hunt club. I picked areas that are real thick and are good fall habitat. Would you suggest putting the 1/4 acre food plots on them

[@HobbyHarvest]

Not knowing anything more than that, yes. But I'd need to know a lot more about surrounding food sources and bedding areas. But I 100% get your my area over the others.

[@Pacotheburbanhunter]

It's very thick with short pines and swamps. I hunt in Florida. They can bed alot of places

[@Pacotheburbanhunter]

No AG fields around me

[@HobbyHarvest]

@@Pacotheburbanhunter throwing in a food source will definitely help if there's none nearby. Just be very careful how you hunt it because there will probably be does and fawns bedded down right off the edge of it if it's that thick.

[@Pacotheburbanhunter]

Ok. Thank you. I plan knocking back some of the really thick some

[@rodneyrogers8609]
