- It's only May and we are a long ways off from deer season, but that doesn't mean the deer hunting chores take a break.

You should put a monthly deer chores playlist together. These are super helpful
Hi Nick, I sure should! Great idea. I just need to work on something other than my phone someday...they don't let you do that kind of work on the phone
Very cool with the kestrel houses. We put up barred owl boxes at our place.
That's pretty cool too!! Fun projects for sure...
I live in southern Indiana. My Brasca already went to seed. Goes to seed in mid to early April.
For the Kestrel Nest Boxes, if you guys put them up, you'll want to add some fine chips or some type of nesting material. Of course, a quick web search will get you in the right direction. Beautiful Birds
Definitely...they are in 😊👍
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 That's awesome! Makes you feel somewhat like a daddy-to-be again, almost. :)
Just got some clover in a couple small pass through plots Friday before the rains this weekend. Been scouting for turkeys too. Can’t wait for my season to start… lots of birds this year! Hope your family is finding success in the turkey woods this season as well!
That's great Peter... great progress! Good luck to you too 🦃 My future son in law, Jen and I have all connected...was a GREAT time 👍😊
Jeff you just cost me a bunch more money had to finally breakdown for a tractor. Just went and purchased a new Kubota LX series tractor! Lol!!! Not your fault, but I had to blame someone. Lol!!! Great video again much appreciated information for the masses! Have a great day you guys!
Ha, you will love it Karl! Great tractor for sure...
We were just talking about how we could use a FEL 😁 Would actually be great for carrying several hundred pounds of seed to spread thru the PTO spreader! Save some long trips...
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 Ya that actually sounds like a great idea! might have to use that idea myself.
Finally back to the videos. Always great info I can use on my property or the neighboring property I have access to. With being done with Bear season and a tag filled for the year ill be back to the whitetail grind.
Where I live, shooting my bow outside is not an option, so I have a bag target set up in my basement. The distance is only 7 yards, but I can practice in any weather, and at my age, I need the repetition to keep what strength I have left. Even so, I may soon need to reduce my draw weight even more than I already have.
It's always funny talking to family members and friends about deer chores and they look at you like you are crazy 😂
Haha, so true! Got to be confusing to some 😁
We have chores for hunting bc particularly we view it as priority over convenience.
most people go to work n go home to sit on phone. . .
It's okay my fiance 3 years ago thought I was crazy. an now she helps me with him and enjoys it😂
Just got all my trees/shrubs in the ground, tubed and caged. Atleast we have rain this spring. Hoping for morels this year. Right now is also garlic mustard control time, cut the flowers off.
I'm in north central Indiana and my switch grass is 6-8" tall already..looking forward to giving it a dose of quinclorac to help with some foxtail.
Seen my plots up at farm this weekend trying to get a turkey. Seen lots of hens one Tom 500yrds away. But I did get to eyeball my plots and switch and all is good.
Looking to put waterhole in soon but it's so wet I know the hole would fill with water before you could get it set and fill it. After 2years of drought it was quite shocking how much water was everywhere.
If I started a 1/4 acre clover plot this spring with frost seeding, am I able to layer on some brassica at the end of the summer?
Saw 2 buck yesterday right before my grandson shot his long beard 👍Antlers were about 2 inches high
So cool on both fronts but I bet that was an awesome time with your grandson 😊
Jeff talking tree planting, have you ever planted any American Persimmon trees ?
I haven't personally, only because I haven't seen them grow well or produce in a line from central IL to central IN to central OH and north.
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751
I'm going to give it a try, been reading alot about them, all the do's and don't , got a great deal on 10 bareroot and feel its worth a try. 👍🏻
Hey Jeff ! I just watched this one and herd you say get rid of the brasica ! Well my Plots are loaded with the yellow flowers ! So your saying I should mow them to the ground or what do you recommend ? I have alot of Rye and clover growing in same plot ?
You're always on task Jeff that's why you harvest big bucks every year! I'm on hold right now. My lease is for sale their might be a buyer😢
Oh dang Jason I feel for you...let's hope you can find something right away if you do!!
Can you plant seeds in the no till buckwheat before you crush it
Hi Jack! I plant the larger seeds...oats, peas, means, tillage radish, etc...and then I kill then wait a week to broadcast the little stuff
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 ok thanks
What stand were you putting together? Looks solid
That's a Family Tradition Treestand. Made with USA steel in Charlotte MI been around for over 20 years and extremely high quality!! Jack Turner is the owner...feel free to call him at: (517)543-3926
I've used them for many years ..the ladder stands are incredible too!!
With this weird spring am I too late to spray my second round of gly and 24D this week or weekend? I planted the switchgrass last fall here in central MN
Hi Travis! It's close? Best guess is that you would be fine. I have some switchgrass by my house that was Fall planted and it hasn't emerged yet. A good sign is if corn has germinated yet, which is just in front of switch.
@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 farmers haven't got corn in yet. With all this rain there is spots that are too wet to spray
So are you going to put a filly blind on the new plot?
Definitely a ghillie for this year...on a sled!
So do u leave stands up yr round? I never liked to was worried about them getting weathered or critters chewing straps. So if i put them up in. Aug sept is that a bad thing
There are some we have, but we generally take them down. August is not a bad thing at all if there are very light shooting lanes to clear...and that's it. Otherwise I like May/June
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 im usually taking them down in april. Lol. Usually all the shooting lanes were cleared the season before. Or like you say may or june
😁🦌
Now that was extremely impressive Connor!!
Very fast!
Fir…st?
Ummm, not so sure Kurt 😁
Come on Jeff!!!! I’m not done with April deer chores and u r pulling May chores on me. lol. Thanks as always
Haha, get er moving Mark 😊
I used to go to OCSC and shoot prob 200 arrows every Wed night starting at about 9pm in the indoor range. I got so good my uncle and I would bet $20 on who could hit a 20 oz pop cap at 40 yards, we would open up the doors to the bow room and move all the way back first guy to hit got the $20
Good times! I remember shooting 45 yards in that same bow room 😊 I would shoot really late at night! No one was around and would shoot 300 games on a 5 spot target at 40 yards
Hey Jeff - Love the "chores" videos!
How often do you go back to existing/established stands and change out straps holding them in place?
Hi Tyler...at worst 2 years, but we try to take them down every year so they don't rot
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 Thanks! Taking them down in Jan after the season (or once your tag is filled if earlier)?
@@tylerlantz2035I would always wait until after the season on private land so I'm not spooking deer to my neighbor, or off my land in general during the season.
Good morning Jeff, l am just learning about this whole food plot planting, my soil is very sandy soil, i get buckwheat helps with organic matter, if u plant this in late june, wirh deer loving it, can this be still used in October here in w.v or you wouldnt recommend?
Hi Edward! You would never want buckwheat completely used as a Fall planting, but we include it as a % in our Fall Power Greens as a GREAT early season food source.
It's a marginal summer food source, but a great early Fall food source. Great compliment to the vining peas we use in that Fall Power mix 😉
I blame buckwheat prices on you Jeff! LOL. Are you going to be selling your seed at the ACE hardware in PDC again this year? Thanks for al the great content!
I truly believe my best “stand” is my small off grid cabin and where I placed it. I have 98 acres, half facing southeast on a steep mountainside, and half facing northwest on a steep mountainside. I built the cabin right on top of the mountain. My experience hunting WV mountain country is that the deer bed middle to high on the sides of the mountain. I’m already on top and can get to all of my morning stands undetected, usually. No more trying to sneak up the side of the mountain in the morning where the deer can pick you off like a sniper on the high ground. Evening hunts are lower as they filter down the mountain to go to their destination at night. My access road to the cabin runs up the spine of the ridge, and that’s my access to get to evening stands. Placing the cabin where I did is a huge advantage. It was a lot of work getting materials up there, but we’ll worth the effort.
I completely understand. But in my state, it's illegal... so may wanna consider not talking about it. If you have the same laws...I know I'll sthu...lol
Hi Jeff, I sparyed simmozine & 24d in February, so have begun killing new weed growth with glyphosate. Getting ready to plant your buckwheat on 3 small food plots. I'm in planting zone 7, so frosts have ended unless a weird weather event. Planning to plant Buckwheat on the schedule you mention here.
Waiting to see if the switchgrass comes up (???). Thanks!!!!!
I need to finish my shooting range. Need to improve my bait spot for deer and bear. Made arrangements to rack acorns from a customers yard for bear bait. Hopefully the squirrels plant some of those acorns for me. I gotta get rootstocks around so can graph this fall.
