Small Wooded Parcel Deer Hunting Design

[@TheBigbrent71]

Maybe you could give Billy some drawing tips. Great video. Easily comprehended.

[@SandwichKing-lj4ej]

I have 10 acres and neighbors multiple parcels each direction my side of road never go to their lot, out of state land investors and lots passed down for generations unused. A poor abandoned area mainly used for timber. When I put a 1 acre food plot in, it got wiped out, trying to grow fruit and nut trees that can’t be mowed down but takes years to bear well. Working on another 1 acre of food plots but I suspect it will also be quickly mowed down.

[@poplardeer]

I was half expecting you to call it "a happy little food plot" like Bob Ross at some point. Great video, these give a lot of insight into how you set up and design properties.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Haha, now that's funny 😁 I'm definitely no Picasso lol. Or Bob Ross. But I try, lol

[@markmilner563]

I was having flashbacks to John Madden on the teleprompter drawing the play up. Bam! Whap! He goes this way, they go that way. Good stuff. Thanks Jeff

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

🤣 Now that's funny Mark! Appreciate it 😊👍

How much do you charge to visit for a land management consult

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Hi Matt, $3950 this year but I am booked solid for the rest of 2024. May go up in 2025. Not sure? The rest of the crew is at $2950 per day. I also am very specific as to where I travel to. I visit clients for roughly 9 different trips.

[@mattschneider12]

Gotcha! I live in Central Arkansas and only 15 acres to hunt on. Same price?

[@paull3262]

Great little video looks a lot like what I’m working with! Thanks Jeff always great info on your channel .that I can afford 😂.without asking my better half before I buy it!!!

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Haha, love that Paul! Well thanks for watching 😁

[@stevebrown3408]

What do you use to see what's on the neighbor side ? I have tried satellites but the ones I tried did nit show me s good imagery < maybe used the wrong one ??

[@elkmo41]

Michigan…lot of time, money, effort for small deer regardless of what is done especially on small acreage.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

It's all relative. Same money. Same strategies. Same goals...build the best h Rd and consistently shoot the oldest bucks in the neighborhood. Not everyone can travel to fantasy land states where Iowa's 165 is MI's 130. Or Illinois's 200 is MI's 165. The success of the journey or quality of the hunter, is truly not measured in total inches of antler.

[@vervi1jw1]

Michigan will probably be getting bigger dear year by year. Our winters have become very mild.

[@linthicum75]

Thank you for all the informative videos much appreciated

[@lwdeer1]

Thanks this is helpful

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

That's good to hear, you are welcome Lori!

[@adaml8140]

I’m really sad I didn’t get a chance to meet you when you were in Michigan last year at my buddy Todd’s place! I’ve been telling everyone I know about your channel for years now! Lucky me I’m situated between his property and his cousin Jonathan that you’ve also assisted on. I thank you for your knowledge and I do my part to educate the hunters I know around here to try and change old bad habits of deer and property management.

[@219jello]

We own 9 acres set up a lot like your example. Had a small food plot way in the back but I'm moving it way up front behind my shop. Planting some switch grass between my shop and the plot. Not gunna be a hunting plot, just more of a plot to get the deer into our woods sooner in the evenings

[@janitorialguy4436]

Thanks Jeff

[@Miguel_Travels]

Dang Jeff, that scenario is almost identical to our cabin in Roscommon. Gotta love the sandy soil. Foodplot life is much easier down in SE Michigan.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

That's good it hits home! And man this sand up here...brings back fond memories 😁

[@transamguy9073]

Great vid jeff love the small parcel vids. Im in se oh. Not really ag land but all my neighbkr have food plots. And i cant keep up with them. They have some deep pockets

[@Official1616Club]

Im in Northern Alberta and while i was hunting for bears this spring in the marsh and swamps i was seeing DOZENS of deer from small to large whitetails and quits a few good size mule deer. So i wouldnt call them "No deer zones"

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Oh for sure...but they are definitely no deer zones if they have deep enough water to swim in 😉 Like the one in this example...

[@Official1616Club]

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 I could definitely see if they had to be swimming. Caught sight of a good 150-160* buck standing belly deep in the water eating some berry's that were growing in the marsh.

[@ZJanciste_1]

If it wasn't for the sand, the winter rye and clover the gas exploration guys planted in a 3-4acre parcel (reclamation) next to my wooded parcel would be way greener!! I depend on some of the clearings in my Gaylord 40 to hold deer...especially at that elevation (1300ft). Thanks Jeff......check out El Patron when your up in Gaylord for some good Mexican food!

[@coreyk3041]

Fascinating presentation, lot of good information, even for folks as myself that hunt big public land in Northern Wisconsin that has many cedar swamps riven through it and generally poor soil. Not many deer unfortunately, lol😂

[@timhatfield6367]

#2 YES!

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Haha...YES 😁
