I’ve followed you for years now, read all the books, and continue to watch your videos. I find every new one, I learn something. My property has become a big buck property, all because of your help Jeff. Growing along with you. Thanks for what you do for us
New 50 acre property owner in WV this year. My lifelong dream. Learning so much from you Jeff. I am not rich, so trying to do this economically but properly at the same time. I put herbicide 2 weeks ago I just ordered some purelife buckwheat. Brasica and power greens to come. I wish I could afford the web series or even getting you out here, but I signed up for the digital platform for now. Hopefully that fills the gap. The videos here have been beyond helpful. Thanks for what you do.
Well it wont hurt to ask but im a vet and wld love for someone to come out and look at my 40 acres but i cant afford those price but iv taking alot u showd me to heart this year i am installeing a 12 to 15 foot switchgrass fence around my plot this year i my try some water holes if the budget allows it. Lol wife and kids come first. I dont know if i have the right trees for hing cuting or if it would even benefit me but love ur video thank you for what u do
Hey Jeff was wondering if you could give some types for a young hunter from delaware. A year and a half ago on our property we cleared a microplot(1/20 of an acre) but we just have left it since. I actually hunted over it last fall and killed a doe in it and we’ve had some day and nighttime bucks come in every now and then during the season. Been watching your videos for quite some time and starting replicating some of the cheaper ideas (mock scrapes/waterholes) but I wanted to see if this summer we could get a food plot going. There’s a TSC close to our farm that id like to see if we could purchase some seed mix from. Any ideas?
Besides over use, the reason hinge cutting is controversial is because of poor execution. There needs to be more emphasis in videos on teaching the placement and clean-up of trees to create travel paths and bedding pockets with no dead-end pile of trunks and branches which negate use by deer for all but perimeter browsing.
Oh for sure...been teaching it for decades 😉 Much of the problem tho, centers around pro-timber zealots that are more concerned about boards per foot than wildlife habitat. Lots of "professionals" that have very little actual experience or comments sense when it comes to hinge cutting.

Thanks for another great video and awsome info. This is something i am wanting to try next winter
Thank You! I really appreciate you watching. Definitely worth trying out, as long as you are safe doing it 👍
I'm not going to check my hinge cuts. Opened up canopy in several areas and can guarantee same results as you. Thanks for the tips
Bet they look beautiful Travis! We love this spot for them on our land...

Cutting down, and letting resprout, I believe is called coppicing. Widely used in Europe/ japan.
Very interesting!been used for a loooong time then

When is the best time to hinge cut or does it matter?
Hi Bill! All Fall and Winter (not when sub freezing for extended periods.
Late July and August is great too...which is during summ r dormancy
With this early summer, am I too late ro hinge cut? I just bought a 40 next to me that is going to be all bedding
Hi Travis! I would wait now until the end of July/August, for summer dormancy
@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 thank you, I'm excited it's a south facing slope with a small bench in the middle.
Do you have a recommendation for someone in North Carolina to help play my property
Thanks Jeff
You are very welcome!
In my experience red oak doesn’t hinge cut that well. It pinches off and the larger ones barber chair.
How fast do you need to be around here??
Ha, that was blazing!
Yeah 2nd! Wo Hoo
😁
My land should be clear cut.At least half of it over a couple years.
It sure helps D!
First
Almost! 😊👍
😁🦌
So fast...
