How to Easily Create Deer Bedding Areas - The Management Advantage #84

[@bospainhour2832]

By utilizing prescribed fire you could accomplish your goals in a much faster fashion. Fire promotes oak germination, sets back the honeysuckle, and also removes leaf litter to where the native species of grasses and forbs will germinate again. You’d also remove tick habitat with the fire. You might give it a shot to help you not have to do quite as much work.

I wish we could have property like that.... Awesome video!!!!

[@stevestarkey6183]

honeysuckle is a deers favorite food

[@samadams7731]

What a cool looking dog.

[@talon769]

Good stuff! What a gorgeous Aussie!!

[@ManagementAdvantage]

Fergie!!!

[@jimmac144]

Ever make a “dabbed”. Get some PVC thread pieces together one end with a cap and the other end with a smaller opening that you jam a sponge in. Then dab the cut ends instead of spraying.

[@matthewweis6619]

Where do you get the seeds for that switch grass!? and could i plant that in central Wisconsin? or is it more of a southern plant? Love your videos! Keep it up!

[@ManagementAdvantage]

+Matthew Weis :You can contact your local elevator or seed mill. They'll have access to it and might be able to point you in the right direction in terms of variety for the area. You can also find a lot of information on it in the forums at www.qdma.com Thanks for watching!

+Matthew Weis Ernst Conservation Seeds is where you want to go. Best prices and selection and service anywhere!

[@jonathanbamford5436]

You can use 50% glyphosate when you cut stump. Very effective and much cheaper.

[@mrpush2532]

Ok so honey suckle is browse and cover for deer....do you want it gone for the hardwood growth?

[@Outdoorsman351]

Could this same process be done for a section of timber being taken over by basswood trees? There is zero under growth because of the canopy. Should I cut out sections at a time and replant a tree or two in its place? Love the videos!

[@ManagementAdvantage]

+Outdoorsman351 Yes it could!

[@johnpasquale1966]

my deer eat honeysuckle but it's small bushes dispersed over large areas not a jungle like in the video

[@jimmyscarborough607]

Why not fence the area and let goats solve your problem for you?

[@hidingfromyou4455]

I don’t think goats are gonna eat two or three inch thick woody shrubs. But then again I’ve never raised goats.

[@Scofari]

There is vegetation that you want to save.

[@hennessyloftnewyorkpigeonr9848]

Is that different from Japanese honeysuckle? Thanks

[@hot2trot5]

Does this same chemical work on Buckthorn?

[@skyleroien5647]

Would most of the management tips work for blacktail too?

[@jeremyweedman7716]

What kind of dog is that? I need a good hunting / shed dog. Gorgeous pup.

[@ManagementAdvantage]

Aussie!

[@matthewmorris7694]

I hear Chuck mention "Crop Oil" mixed with the triclopyr. Where do I find it? I looked on the Keystonepest web site and I see the Triclopyr but not "Crop Oil". Also, any recommendations on mix ratio?

[@chriselms923]

methylated seed oil

[@jayturner9941]

Crop Oil Concentrate is available at any co-op or farm store. Could be called COC as well. This is a petro chemical product, excellent for taking herbicides through the waxy leaf tissue as well as into the stump tissue. MSO or Modified Seed Oil could do the job too, this is an actual seed oil (soy, corn, sunflower extracted oils). Normally the use rate for crop oil is a minimum of 1% v/v or a pint/ac minimum. MSO is 1/4% to 1% v/v.

[@elliottdavis00]

what the song at the end of the video called?

[@tylerodle1535]

Can we get the name of that song at the end of the video?

[@tommyhunter1817]

Why not just burn it? No way you have time to saw that much honeysuckle.

[@davidcawrowl3865]

Something called popcorn trees (tallow) is taking over my property.

[@theword4501]

Nice❤❤❤

[@gsquared2394]

Whats with these guys and vests? Arms don't get cold?

[@rx1hunter923]

Grant Gonzalez 2 reasons...as your moving, you don’t want to be restricted when cutting and as your moving, your arms don’t feel it because of blood flow. Sounds weird but it could be 10 degrees and my arms and legs never get cold.

[@Scofari]

It's about keeping your core warm

[@tyrander1652]

Will Round-Up on the stumps work?

[@gsquared2394]

Tyrander165 yes mixed 50/50 with water

[@michaelwetzel912]

why is the honeysuckle bad?

[@ManagementAdvantage]

It's very invasive and will take over choking out more desirable species.

[@williamgill_esq.6487]

ManagementAdvantage You need to make a distinction between that bush "honeysuckle" that you have up north and real honeysuckle that we have all over the South - which is a vine with extremely tender and nutritious leaves that deer love. It is a major and great food source for southern deer. Until I was recommended by youtube to watch this vid I had never even heard of " bush honeysuckle." It does look like a no good invasive plant, unlike are southern honeysuckle vines.

[@williamgill_esq.6487]

Big Mike Wetzel See my below post.

[@gsquared2394]

Also note they are referring to JAPANESE bush honeysuckle which is a non-native invasive. There is a native bush honeysuckle that is uncommon (around me) and not what they're talking aboot.

[@robbobcat7286]

whats good to kill alder tree in am in maine

[@bigsasquatch7027]

That bush honey suckle looks like good cover for deer, I would have left it.

[@ManagementAdvantage]

Too invasive. There are much better plants for cover out there than this stuff.

[@gsquared2394]

It's absolutely horrendous for deer habitat. It chokes all the natives out and provides ZERO in terms of browse. If you leave it, you're going to be looking at a lifeless understory of nothing in 10 years. They don't eat it, and they won't even rub it. Please pay attention to these guys and kill it on sight.

[@Jeffrich308]

Where do you get 61% Triclopyr?
