Planting Chestnut Trees and an Unfortunate Discovery!

This is a video showing the planting of Chinese Chestnut bareroot tree seedlings (and Kiefer Pear trees) over the course of a few days during the Spring of 2018. I used approximately 36' spacing for the Chestnut trees. During this visit, I also found something unfortunate. Check it out and subscribe to my blog or YouTube page for more updates!

Habitat Improvement Series - Edge Feathering

In accordance with my habitat plan (earlier video), I am creating some edge feathering. The purpose is to: 1) increase late winter browse for deer 2) remove invasive species 3) improve doe bedding 4) improve habitat for quail, rabbit and turkey nests, and 5) provide a place to plant some more beneficial wildlife trees without losing pasture/food plots. Stay tuned for future updates and more habitat work by subscribing.

Habitat Improvement - Scouting Before the Work

It was a tough day of scouting in the snow, but I made some interesting (and scary) finds. I am now ready to get to work on my habitat management plan!

Deer Habitat Management Plans

In this video I discuss my habitat management plan that I developed to improve the deer habitat on the property I hunt and manage. This plan involves tree planting, hinge cutting, edge feathering, blocking, travel corridors, blocking, invasive species removal and buck & doe bedding.
I will be releasing videos over the coming weeks, months and years that will provides updates on the work of this habitat plan. Please like and subscribe for updates.
