Thanks Jeff!

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Sure things Isaac!

[@kurtpearson2793]

I think mock scrapes work. My camera captured deer non stop from 5:19-5:52 playing, mingling, passing through,eating, (no fawns yet!) and just being social. It’s on an X of long existing travel 👍 super cool technique for getting to know your herd 👊

[@MrRABland]

I guarantee they work! I have three years of photos of mock scrapes versus no scrapes to prove it. No doubt about it. Plus, I see bucks always stop which gives me a nice stationary target to shoot from my stand across from the scrape.

[@henryfuerstenberg5301]

I implemented 3 of your mock scrapes March. With in days I have video of 3 does walking by with in a 20 second video hitting on the scrape vine. In another 20 second video I have 2 small black bears hitting on it. Theu have that stick bouncing like a yoyo in the video. Love it.

[@goneoutdoorsntv6920]

Could you make a video about how to hunt and build a swampy property

[@aaroncoleman2615]

Hey Jeff great information as always.. I have been following your no-till food plot and I am doing it on an acre of property n that’s between an affordable field and doe bedding. But in this video this is the first time I noticed you said crush the buckwheat then plant the buckwheat. Did I miss this in other videos. Because reviewing my notes you’d said to spread the food plot seed then crush the buckwheat. Does it matter which way for brassica’s?

[@poplardeer]

Glad I watched this. Regarding Quinclorac, you mentioned ounces per acre. Is that of the 75% concentration stuff? I am ordering some and it says use a rate of 64oz/acre? That must not be specifically for switchgrass or am I missing something?

[@marcchenoweth8276]

I just told my hunting partner it's time for one arrow a night. Everyone asks me why one arrow. I am a firm believer that you only get one opportunity to harvest mature deer.

[@billanderson6172]

What are your thoughts on using the same technique planting brassicas into a standing rye plot from last fall?

[@vetter847]

Do you recommend spreading brassica seed only after buckwheat is crushed? I was under the impression brassica was spread into standing buckwheat then crush. Thank you.

[@fivefdpftw]

I had the same question!

[@TheSmithtj80]

You can spread brassica after buckwheat is crushed because the seed is so small. That way with broadcaster, you get better coverage rather than the seed hitting standing buckwheat. Jeff said that number of times. Bigger seed like beans you need to do before crushing it.

[@TheSmithtj80]

@Number 1 Fan huh? Just go to the 3:10 of this video and that's exactly how he says he does it... "In the case of brassica, crush, then spread seed" the brassica seed is so small, it will find it's way too soil 🤷

[@Kidsbeingcrazy]

We just planted buckwheat in an area we had a pond dug to help build the soil back. Do I need to replant the buckwheat every year or will it reseed itself?

[@tylerfarrington5727]

can winter wheat be used as the same idea as your buckwheat? for the ultimate no till?

[@mikebutler5317]

If you have sprayed Simazine early and then Gly and 2-4D in early May to get good weed control, could you plant switch in June?

[@baileysmith6664]

Any advice for ticks while doing food plots hard to avoid walking in tall plants while spraying or seeding for no till, not new to plots but ticks have recently become a problem in my part of Ontario

[@mikenimmo119]

Hello, (Sawyer Brand) Odorless Permethrin. Follow the application instructions, hope that helps....

[@baileysmith6664]

@@mikenimmo119 thanks for the tip I've tried off deep wood that advertises it works for ticks but I found quite a few crawling up my legs this year when I was turkey hunting

[@Anding93]

Starting 2 acres of new plots this year... I don't plan to go with buckwheat until next season. I sprayed once already with 2,4-D and Round-up and might spray 1 or 2 more times with just Round-up. I'm gonna try PlotStart, but w/o a soil test I'm not sure what I need for lime and fertilizer. I can't wait to throw seed down in August!

[@travisethridge4062]

Thanks for all you do for Whitetail deer information and helping camp kicking bear

[@adkbowhunter5140]

So you can mow your rye?

[@wesleyriggs5139]

Since Bucks change their range in the fall, do we need to worry about making fuck betting sanctuary any of the year besides September October November and December? Issue is the best trail I have on my property goes right through my best buck bedding area in relation to my food plots. I can stay off the road leading up to the hunting season and during the hunting season. would that still be effective in providing a buck bedding sanctuary?

[@petec200]

If I have standing Rye, Do I just broadcast the Buckwheat into it or do I mow the Rye - then broadcast into it?

[@beaulyons5554]

Update on switch grass, new planting, sprayed three times last year, frost seeded in January, two spraying this year, still bare dirt. All vegetation around bare lines are two three feet tall. Been getting great weather and tons of rain. Starting to worry.

[@beaulyons5554]

Update- Had a huge storm come through and we got tons of rain and my switch grass is starting to pop up. Weather has been high 60’s mid 70’s during the day, low 50’s mid 40’s at night. Have some broadleaf weeds also coming in unfortunately. Hoping mowing will help keep them under control.

[@johnduellman5760]

In plots from previous season that have a thick establishment of the winter rye coming in do you leave this as the cover crop for your fall plantings or terminate this in spring and plant buckwheat for the cover crop?

[@johnduellman5760]

@Number 1 Fan If the rye seeds out in July couldn't a guy just wait the germination period of that new seed to start and then terminate the new rye when planting the fall plot?

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

I never leave for a Fall cover crop...very bad practice. I terminate before it goes to seed by mowing or by chemical. Usually by chemical

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

No because the seeds from the rye become planted too early and choke out anything you plant in your Fall plots. Yiu do not want to let the rye produce a viable seed head

[@johnduellman5760]

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 thank-you! Here I was thinking perhaps a way to save some time and negate the inflated fuel and seed costs. Glad I asked and didn't just try.

[@lavernewadel4349]

Hey jeff my landlord said he doesn't think you can make a food plot on a wetland in MN is this true if so do I look for a different hunting spot ??

[@Mark-oq5pf]

where can I find tickets for the hunt raffle?

[@noahwilliamson8433]

Is it best to cut deer travel corridors before spring green up and aug. sept. When the nutrients are going back to the roots or does a time frame matter with travel corridors cutting -Alabama

[@phillipward3758]

I hunt 300 acres in north central Texas. The ranch is loaded full of cedars & cows, not deer. Do you have a specific food plot blend you would recommend for my area?

[@dennybirchfield]

I love the monthly chores always gives me something to do and something I forgot to do most of the time great info as always thanks Jeff

[@normyoder2622]

Like always,great positive information. Hope your camp kicking bear event goes well.maybe some day I can attend..keep it up WhS

[@alexpinnow6509]

Excited to see a sliver of your place and how you apply these practices Jeff!

[@ronaldbabbs2015]

Jeff I have a lot of switch grass coming up but also a lot of grass. Should I just mow or what should I spray for the grass with? Any help would be appreciated I don't want to lose my switch.

[@johnsquires2209]

Lots of things to do this month. 🙂

[@bowman8316]

3 months til deer season 🕺🏻🕺🏻 Love the chore videos ! Ty

[@JCreezy2]

Does mowing of other native grasses work the same as mowing of switch? Example: Indian grass, big/little blue stem, etc. if mowed, will it outgrow/outcompete weed competition?

[@adamrodenhouse4555]

When using Plot Start do you apply that with your Buckwheat or with your crop?

[@adamrodenhouse4555]

@Number 1 Fan It was my understanding that Plot Start is a PH enhancer not a fertilizer.

[@JiminTennessee]

Hey Jeff. I am in the Knoxville area. I planted my buckwheat on May 24 this year. This was in a first time plot that has always been a fallow piece of land for at least 5 years. Rebuilding the soil is underway. The buckwheat took well and has filled in . I have been watching your videos for a couple years now and am curious about what to overseed here. I bought some clover I was planning on putting down once we get to knee high and then again after we crush it down. Is there a better or companion overseed to accomplish the rebuilding and giving our boys enough to eat later this fall? Thanks for all you do here sir. It is a fountain of knowledge. Keep shining.

[@prestonjenneman4648]

Jeff, Today is June 2nd and I dont think my frost seeded switch grass has germinated yet. Is this normal? The weeds are starting to get tall where my sprayer didnt work so I intend to mow accordingly now and this summer. Thanks.

[@beaulyons5554]

I checked mine yesterday after a huge storm front and mine is starting to grow finally. Unfortunately in a few spots so are weeds even though I got three sprayings last year and two this year. Some weeds are just tough I suppose. Going to have to mow a few spots my self.

[@evanbungum3692]

Keep up the great content Jeff!! Looking forward to planting my buck wheat in the next couple weeks and do my first year of no till plots!

[@whitetailhabitatandhunting]

Same here

[@johnmcmahon1196]

Im on the tuning part! I just got a new bow and already tested different shafts and field point weights bare shaft so I know I have an arrow thats flying right! Next up is testing broadheads! I have been shooting a lot to get familiar with the new setup!

Morning Jeff my Facebook account was hacked and had to recreate a new Facebook page! I need to be reinvited to our private Facebook group please!

[@naomicreech9870]

I just purchased a probe soil pH tester and it says I have a balance of 6 to 7 alkaline! Not sure if I believe it. I wanna know how you’re out in the woods without being eaten alive!! The mosquitoes and ticks are rampant here this season. I can’t wait for the event , my honey thinks I’m crazy, but what a wonderful way to give. Blessings and condolences to Ray and his family. Thank you Jesus and thank you fellas.

Spray your clothes w/. Sawyer active ingredient permethrin!

Hi Jeff, is there a finite window of time available to plant Switchgrass here in the Michigan area? I don't think my ground will be completely ready until July.

June fails

[@NorthOf8]

Jeff. I bought all 4 of your books. There are established core bucks and their bedding areas on 50 acres. What can i do to make sure i don't scare them off by increasing the herd with food plots?
