How To SHRINK a Buck's Home Range

[@mikeb1189]

Im not tired of hearing about camp kicking bear. Good work bro keep it up you know it

[@tylerodle1535]

I’m in SW VA. 60 Acres. I’ve been applying your info to my parcel & hunting strategies for 3 years now. You’ve given me the knowledge, hope, and confidence to transform it into the property I dream about.

[@kevinrosa3965]

This really, really works. I bought 3.5 acres with my house 2 years ago. Place has amazing bedding all around it. I give the herd quality food to go along with the browse in their bedding. I have been fortunate enough to have opportunities, and have made it count with harvests of the 2 biggest, and oldest bucks in the neighborhood both of those seasons with my bow. Have learned so much watching your videos, and btw I absolutely love HUNTWISE!

Huntwise 100% days are like holidays for me. I plan my life around them!

Truly amazing 🙏

When do you start your mock scrapes?

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Usually in June...but also in May, July, August and sometimes in September.

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 thank you...I just didn't know what would be too early or late...I really appreciate all of your content Jeff...God bless you

Just got my copy of Food Plot Success by Design, AND ordered my seed from John Komp. LETS GO!!! Edit; also the book was at my doorstep less than 48 hrs later. Did you drop it off on the way home from work? It’s for my dad, he lives a lot closer. (35 minutes east!) could have saved on gas.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Hi Kurt, let's GO 😁 Thank you and I hope that you like it!!

[@kurtpearson2793]

It’s a Father’s Day gift for my dad-! He’s not a KZbin kinda guy, so this gets his head on track with mine 👍

[@dennybirchfield]

@@kurtpearson2793 that's a great idea I might have to do that for my father-in-law he's like 70 years old then set in his ways

[@dennybirchfield]

This is perfect right up my alley I have 200 Acres but split into Hundred Acre parcels in two different counties this really helps

[@underdogoutdoors]

It makes sense, I learn something every time, I love this passion of ours!

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

That's great to hear Andy, have a great weekend!

[@kurtpearson2793]

I can’t wait until Saturday morning to express this- John Komp at Northwoods Whitetail inc. has GORGEOUS seeds. I ordered two blends (HD Screen and brassica) and three days later I’m holding immaculate, dust free, husk free, perfectly packaged, bright, beautiful SEEDS. He’s a total professional to deal with as well. Even called me back personally when I had questions! He has earned his excellent reputation. 👍

[@kurtcaramanidis5705]

This applies to most of us I think. Most don't have huge tracts of big woods. It's amazing the small areas that mature bucks will hold in when left alone with some nearby food.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

It is an awesome opportunity Kurt!

[@kurtcaramanidis5705]

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 Sure is. Thanks for pointing that out. I think many don't realize.

[@travisethridge4062]

I like this segment. I didn't shoot any of the bucks on my small property last season due to age and hope they stick around for this season. Thanks

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Thanks Travis and I hope so too! You are very welcome

[@Coopdeville0624]

I'm new to food plots but I put in a small one this year roughly 100ftx 40ft. Mostly winter and spring wheat and clover on the ends and some mixed blends of seed. I'll see how it goes and hopefully get it dialed in in the next couple years. Also I'll be putting out a feeder soon with corn in it about 20 ft in the air by cables so bear cant get at it.

[@ihus9950]

Thanks👍🏻

[@nordicmetals]

Do you ever feed your deer corn and if so how do you use it. most people use corn

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

It's illegal everywhere I hunt...

[@nordicmetals]

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 ok I didn't realize that for you guys up north. Thanks

What's the best food food plot for conifer thicket that's what all the woods are around me

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Hi Dylan...so many variables! Depends on your ph, soil conditions, size of plot, neighboring food sources, planting resources of time, money and equipment. Check out my more recent video of what to plant 😊 I hope it helps! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJyXpqF_mLGbh5o

[@rjquick4204]

your videos are amazing can't say how much we appreciate you sharing your knowledge consistently with us thanks again would love to have you look at my 70 acre parcel in pa how would I go about finding out what that would cost and scheduling

[@dennybirchfield]

$6,000 if you really want to do that get on his website and I'm pretty sure you can find the contact info for that there

[@michaelswitzer218]

April 26th around 830AM I was turkey hunting & I saw a buck that likes to bed on my property swimming roughly 1500' across the lake to get back to his bed. I figure there must be something good to eat on the north side of the lake. Funny thing is the area where he likes to bed (which I found shed hunting & scouting the property) is maybe 50 yards from where the neighbor has a stand (and food plots) on his side of the fence, and would be hard for me to get to without spooking every deer in the area.

[@justinstarr9828]

I've watched all of your food plot videos trying to figure out what setting you have your earthway on for buckwheat. I may have missed it...

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Hi Justin! About 3.5 to 4 but you will want to test and verify with your own walking and arm rotation pace...

[@justinstarr9828]

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 thanks a ton! I'll be broadcasting soon. Thank you for putting this info online for all of us! It means a whole heck of a lot! At least to me!

[@JiminTennessee]

Other than kicking a bear, it sounds like a blast....of course being a goof here. Seriously, thanks for taking time to do this. It is always good to help our youth become masters of the outdoors vs. it being a strange environment. Whether they take up hunting long term or not, these are valuable lessons. Peace :)

[@Mike-nt1to]

Jeff, you talk about seeing bucks constantly during the daylight hours. Just wondering how often, daily or weekly? Thanks

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Nearly every sit during the season...not all, but almost all.

[@jimmymiller9299]

What setting do you use on your earthway spreader for buckwheat

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Around 3.5 to 4 but make sure to test your own walking and cranking speed...

[@tyrant357.]

I agree with food and cover but not with "shrinking his home range on private" lol if that's the case shouldn't you be getting your target buck year after year with ease?

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Actually yes, you really should...I do about 80% of the time...often 2 or 3 of them in multiple states and even on public land. That's what I teach my clients to do. Very easy to do...if you follow the tips in this video and on this channel. Most folks never get to experience that fact, and you've come to right spot to learn. I average about 6 sits per target buck.

[@phillipquinn1652]

What is the best type of clover to use for food plots?

[@drewharman1690]

Jeff I noticed you are starting to use some ladder stands! I like the lock ons because low profile but this year watching a few clear cuts woukd be nice to have a shooting rail thoughts?

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Hi Drew! I use them when they are the only fit for the tree for the most part. Leaders, huge diameter and then a few very thick, conifer setups. I think rails are nice for gun hunting! I don't personally use them because I shoot off a knee if a far shot snd I bowhunt all of my stand setups too so the rail can get in the way. Love my rails on my blinds and tower stands tho!
