June Deer Hunting Chores

[@darinbarber2922]

Love Jeff's chore videos to keep up on what needs done each month. Timing is everything and I was able to hit the first thumbs 👍 up this time too!

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Nice Darin! Timing is so critical... stubbornly checking chores off the box as the months progress is so important for sure!

[@Miguel_Travels]

I love these monthly chore videos... A few years ago, I suggested that you sell WHS calendars with all your monthly whitetail chores and key planting dates and such. I swear you would sell a lot of them. I own all of your books, minus Turntine and the Poachers. The next years calendar would make a great Christmas gift every year. 😁

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

It is a possibility Miguel! And I appreciate your persistence 😊 Added to the list...again, ha One thing we ran into is with limited production the price per calendar is very expensive! Was something when we looked it was a lot of effort for very little return...or we charge quite a bit higher than the average high quality calendar that is out there.

[@Miguel_Travels]

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 That's a bummer. I never thought about that.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

@@Miguel_Travels I would imagine we will try a limited run and just charge what we have to...see how it works!

[@timhatfield6367]

I'd buy one for sure! Would like also to have life-sized cardboard cut out of jeff,for deer camp. Lol No..but seriously yes. Everytime I'm doing something, I always wonder what Jeff would say if he was here. Lol

[@janitorialguy4436]

Thanks Jeff, you always keep me thinking and excited about the fall.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

I love to hear that...thank you so much!

[@jjhoran1273]

Great video jeff! The monthly chore and fail videos have been a great help.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Thanks a lot JJ, I will do my best to hit what you guys want the most. Your feedback always helps!

[@Sean-jd9rp]

Jeff, I have my food plot next to an intermittent stream. I planted 2 young apple trees in my foodplot area. My question is, would it be worth it to make a water hole for when the stream goes dry?

[@bowman8316]

Hope everyone gets needed rain... I've never seen a May this dry

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Man I hope we make up for it in June!

[@bowman8316]

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 that would be great ! Ty

[@cliffordculbertson5980]

Hey Jeff are you going to do a small video to cover June's clover plots a little more in depth. I did the no till last year and the deer ate buckweat and everything else i planted lol. Winter rye saved my season, so big thanks to that. I was going to do the same thing but add a feeder at a water hole just to denture them away from the plot until late August and pull the feeder. Thoughts or videos on any of that would be great. Thanks so much. Love the videos keep up the great work.

[@zacharykowasz3566]

Is June too late to plant your deer fence blend? Located in western NY, first spray on new plots with gly/24D in may, getting ready to do second spray this week.

[@jeffreyspry3558]

First off, love the vids. I was wondering if you could do or have done a video on what to look for on public land. Unfortunately I don't have my own land to hunt on so I hunt public in Indiana. Are there certain signs, plants, trees etc that we should look for?

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Hi Jeffrey...here is my public land playlist of the videos I've created for public land hunters...I hope you like them! kzbin.info/aero/PLmV8Ilexgmhfhq31_lulJiD0mh-OmGtd0

[@johnconvry3065]

Hi Jeff,i thought u seed Brassica in the buckwheat then roll it down and spray,here u say about seeding a week after u roll and spray? Ty

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Hi John! It depends on how high the buckwheat is. Thigh high to waist high seed into buckwheat with brassica. Waist high +...seed after rolling

[@finnfrymire3438]

Thing is, after I planted the Buck Wheat, the deer HAMMERED it after it flowered out..I never did get a chance to pack it down.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

That's the only bad thing that can happen. Buckwheat is low preference...but can be hit hard with small plots and big wooded settings even if not a lot of deer. Or in really high deer pop areas.

[@markc2036]

You plant clover now? I've heard you plant clover in the months that have the letter R in then true or false? Enjoyed the video. Thank you for these type of videos. I learn something new each video.

[@jarrodlambert3914]

Awsome info

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Thank you Jarrod!

[@o-duck_kid-o3382]

Would be interesting to see a video on diversity pockets. From set up, reasons, how they work.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

You will see that on Tuesday, actually 😊 Also, like for every topic, what I tell folks is to use your search function on KZbin. If you type in Diversity pockets for deer there will be a collection of my own personal videos that come to the top, with "diversity pocket" in the title or in the description of the video. Since that's my own term...like many things I talk about, I have created many videos on the subject over the years... I hope that helps!

[@ethansleeman4533]

Our waterhole is 2yrs old and is working great! Its full of water currently but I can see some micro-organisms swimming around in there. Should we consider a water change or just leave it alone?

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

I would leave it alone Ethan! All good, natural stuff for deer 😊

[@seregill13]

Your archery target is in the same condition as mine. Hopefully, they both last through the summer.

[@loisbuttray2937]

What about using a Goliath Crimper then you wouldn't have to spray to kill the buckwheat?

[@polarisoutdoors3105]

Hey Jeff will diy herbicides work? I gotta spray soon. Thinking of mixing vinegar, salt and dish soap together for my food plot. Ps thanks for the buckwheat rotation tip

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

You are very welcome! I'm actually not sure on the DIY herbicides. It makes sense that something would work in some combination but I do not have any experience at all with them...

[@polarisoutdoors3105]

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 okay thx. I appreciate it. Also after my 6 week growth cycle of buckwheat, I was planning on broadcasting clover and chicory. Should I also broadcast brassicas at the time? Or give the clover a few weeks to establish first?

[@bowman8316]

I think salt will stay in soil

[@johnkosmatka2280]

@@polarisoutdoors3105 plant them all together or the chicory and clover will stunt your brassica. Brassica will help get a good catch on the clover and chicory for next year.

Jeff, what ia your concentration rate on your Quinclorac? 18% active ingredient?

Man I think I even seen my Buckwheat cough and wheeze it’s so dry here in Wisconsin lol. Begging for rain

[@temerenpfaffenberger3761]

If it is extremely dry and there is no rain in the forecast do we just wait to plant? (Arkansas)

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Yes, for sure! We are running into that up here. I am taking a chance here and there but it's shaping up to be a very dry late May and June so far!

Hi Kurt! We have Nelson Ag out of Viroqua and Prairie Du Chain carrying our seed. Outside of them we aren't really looking actively for dealers. Maybe another one around here in late June or July? Also if you come to the Father's Day Charity even you can pick up seed for a discount AND no shipping 😊
