    This is exactly what Kevan Smith developed for me on my place this spring. I have been working my butt off getting it done but I am convinced that I can turn my little 28 acres into a honeyhole. If you can get Kevan to visit your place you won't be sorry!

      I've been an WHS fan for several years. Last year I decided to spring for a site visit. Kevan Smith was my consultants from WHS. I used to think I knew what I was doing. Kevan showed me how little I actually knew. He developed a cohesive plan and mapped out a collection of improvements that were all linked together into a cohesive plan. I am one old guy. I tried but I couldn't get it all done. I contacted Kevan and scheduled a return visit. This past March he came back. Again, I learned so much I thought my head would explode! Half way through his visit I asked him to make sure I was on his schedule for the following year. These visits were THAT VALUABLE.
      The WHS site visits are some of the best investments into my hunting property I have ever made. I now have a cohesive plan and I am well on my way to achieving it. If you fail to plan you have planned to fail! This video could have been about my little place. It illustrates all of the key concepts.
      I am a WHS fan for life!

    Thanks Jeff for all the informative videos you put out. Sure opens my eyes to deer movement and how bucks use a piece of property. Going to start implementing some of your suggestions on my 80 acre piece of land up here in Manitoba Canada. Been looking at how i was doing this all wrong on my property so far and why i have been having only marginal success.

  • @jeffpepin5930
    @jeffpepin5930 Год назад +1

    Awesome stuff! This was one of your best at least for what I needed for information. You talked about parallel habitat features along the edges of the property so the deer follow it. Besides shaping plots in the directions you want them to go, can you give a couple more examples of those habitat features?

    • @whitetailhabitatsolutions9751
      @whitetailhabitatsolutions9751  Год назад +2

      Sometimes Alex...but often that creates pinchpoints for neighbors to hunt and it's easy to use too much brush to block deer. Too much meaning deer become wary of it if too confining.

    Interesting- not going into food areas in morning. They're already there and you'll just spook them. Get in between there and bedding and catch 'em coming back. Did I get that right?

    • @whitetailhabitatsolutions9751
      @whitetailhabitatsolutions9751  Год назад

      Yes ..very critical concept. You rarely if ever want to hunt food in the morning...more in-between or next to bedding. Then, you hunt food in the afternoon...without spooking deer out of the food source.

  • @chaseardelean5235
    @chaseardelean5235 Год назад +1

    Doesn't apply to this video, but do you have a deer retrieval strategy? Do you drag them out, drive up to and load them? Are you worried about spooking other mature bucks? How long before you hunt that spot again?

    i bought the brassica blend from you last year, and it was nice and thick and performed well. It has reseeded itself into a half acre of knee high, no weeds, beautiful brassica plot that is so thick it is hard to walk through. Do you terminate this and when? thank you for your thoughts!

    @gilltineadventures1603 Год назад

    Love the videos! How many small food plots are too many for 40 acres? Is there a general range like 2 to 4? I feel like if you have too many the target buck is more likely to hit a different plot? I get it will change depending on the property.

      You always want them to walk parallel you your borders, to maximize the time they are on your land and keep them from walking OFF your borders. You live in IL....be thankful you aren't in MN, WI, MI, OH, PA, NY, the entire east coast, NE and SE states, IN...to name a few with more hunting pressure than IL 😉

    Can you seed your clover, alfalfa, chicory mix into your rye and wheat coming up in the spring as a cover crop, then mow it down (rye wheat) like oats? Or kill it and then seed it if the weeds are very little?

    Hi Jeff I love the videos and ordered the big boost brassica my situation is unique in which the land I hunt and maintain is my father in laws in Way north MN, we have neighbors east that camp close to our boarder and state forest north and west of our boarder.. we camp essentially on the "deer" path from the bedding on your lower left and we have food to south east(where your food is) but he doesn't want to cut any trees and they like to hunt in the middle essentially.. how do I maximize this as I'm trying to create paths away from our camp but we are pretty constricted with pressure

      @michaelhacker1442 Год назад

      I should probably add there is no way to enter from the north unless we go in 2 miles the only really entrance is the south in middle we have a logged square in the center that they walk through and put stands up the day before... I know I know it all spooks deer but I don't know what else to do

    Great info Jeff but you think its a good idea to put food along a public road? That's exactly my setup sort of, everyone in the county would shoot nice bucks off of my property from the road except me! Ya I suppose you could put up some kind of screen until the county comes by and sprays for noxious weeds killing your screen! I tell ya ya cant win!!😂😂

    All your videos asum deer only bed in the timber but they don't every farmer and cowboy knows that false. Every single day a watch deer leave the ag feilds and timber to go bed in a ridge in the sun in tall grass. Not seen just here in okla but all states from Texas to Nebraska to the west cost. Not just does but big bucks. Will be in the open on a ridge wind to back and a good view in front

    • @whitetailhabitatsolutions9751
      @whitetailhabitatsolutions9751  Год назад +4

      They bed in cover...if you actually watch the videos you would know that...could be grassy areas next to Regen.
      There are 4 bedding or as I defined and published in quality Whitetails for the QDMA 15 years ago...1. Briars, grasses, weeds 2. Shrubs 3. Hardwood regen 4. Conifers.
      As discussed in over 100 videos. I wouldn't listen to a farmer or cowboy when it comes to deer management no different than I would listen to my plumber for electrical work .

      @@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 this morning wasnt and brush or anything Regen within a half mile they actually left the Regen to come uo on the ridge. High percentage of paid guides in the country are working ciwboys why they see the deer every day and know where they are and where they will be going. Deer in most eays are no different than a goat or cow. They have mostly the same habits. Setting on a food plot or feeder waiting on a deer is the same as waiting at the feed trough or planted feild for the old bull. Put in the time it will show up. They bed same places for the same reasons all 3 are prey animals and like to be comfortable
