What counties in ohio do you like hunting jeff. I have property in noble and love that area. Im guessing you are hunting wayne national forrest

I really enjoy these videos. I hunt numerous states. I didn't get drawn for IA, I am looking at MO or a cool area. If there's any states I need to hunt, I'd love to hear about it. I'm mainly in PA, WV and SC.

Thanks Jeff

9:45 not in Florida...find most mature bucks right in the middle of the nasty swamps 😂

Hi Jeff, good morning! What has been your favorite state for your out of state public land trips? And what's been the biggest buck you've shot that hasn't been on your own managed property? ~Pennsylvania hunter

Great plan and advice !!! Thanks teach 👍🦌

First

Getting myself educated to get my switch grass started this winter!

My issue is I have a huge hidden field 20 acres if not more, and don’t have big enough mower. Maybe I need to lease out 110 acres to someone that has the equipment.

Awesome video as always Jeff!!

Not a big fan of the camera law but i have to say i love the new out of state law no party hunting love it

I would really like to plant red Osier in my 1ish forest acre in central Wisconsin also. Is simply planting in a forest setting a good idea? I'm trying to remove Japanese honeysuckle and replace it.

It was a great event Jeff!!! Great group of people.

Thanks Jeff

Great event yet again! From watching the weekly content to checking out the online classes, seeing it in person and relating it to your own efforts is invaluable 👍🏻 Thanks for hosting Jeff and the entire WHS team!! Escaping the vast majority of the rain this year was an added bonus.

Looks like the Camp kicking bear event was a success I know id enjoy it amd gain valuable information. Get to meet you and your family If could make it there some day Thanks Jeff

If anyone is considering going to the habitat day in the future I would highly recommend going. Had such a great time! The best part is that it all goes to a great cause camp kicking bear.

🦌😁

jeff I like that shirt!!

Flew into Iowa this past weekend for the xfinity series NASCAR team I help! Dang I would love to hunt Iowa for a week!

First

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.

Great job. What’s your recommendation for a seed when beans yellow out? Southern Ohio I have a corn/soybean plot. Thank you

We are blessed enough to have a great mixture or pasture fields, foodplots, and a good mixture of thick and open hardwoods. Our farm is roughly a mile from yearly soy bean fields. Every year we watch several older bucks in the summer months in the soy bean fields. 2/3rds of the bucks normally make their way back to our farm around the middle of September. We do have bucks that live on the farm year round but it was always amazing that they always come back to the best winter food sources which is on our farm, and also our farm has relatively low pressure so normally the bucks that make it back to the farm for the fall survive the year and get to grow old

Thanks Jeff, are you no tilling your deer fence

Simple answer when someone says "I've always had a deal with the last owner to hunt here..." "Whatever deal you had was not recorded in the title conditions or closing documents when I bought the land, so your friend ended your deal when they sold the land. My conditions on this land required you to leave and not come back." Makes it not you that's the problem, and takes away that foothold in the argument "that you just didn't know the terms of your land surrender when you bought" - turns it around on the trespasser and the previous land owner.

When you put in a water hole does it need to be under ground level slightly with the ground slightly sloped or tapered into the water hole or can it be a few inches above the ground?

Wisconsin had one of the best deer management programs for many years until 7 years ago when the state eliminated tagging and physical deer registration. Hunter back tags/licenses were eliminated; deer carcass tags were eliminated; physical deer registration was eliminated. The results are a decrease in license and tag sales; a decrease in deer registrations as much as 30+ % and an increase in poaching and a very poor CWD monitoring system. The Disc observation Congress and majority of hunters statewide have begged the legislature and DNR to bring back tagging, but their pleas have fallen on deaf ears.

I dono if i got lucky or what but most of my bucks stick around all yr. Last yr i lost one good mature buck but gained 3 more. Plus all the 2.5-3.5 yr olds that hung around

Jeff, I respect and admire you. In my area of big woods in OH we overseed oats early Aug and rye early Sep into all our perennial legume plots, birdsfoot, red and white clover, chicory. It's catch rate appears to be 75-85%. One of your principles is the same food across all the plots- this keeps our browse pressure constant Aug-Mar. Thanks for all you do and keep experimenting! 🏹

Regarding the thumbnail....I'm pretty sure the deer would kick my ass if I tried to put a camera there.

I've been watching ur channel for about 2 years now and up until then I'd just shot whatever came my way to fill the frezzer. But nothing ever bigger than a spike. Does where always easier. My biggest was 5 points on private land. This past year puting all the advice into play I came out last November with my biggest buck to date at 15 points on public land and first to have mounted. Thank you for all the amazing advice never thought the small details would of made a difference and even the amount I have seen now are multiplied gravely. Grandpa was wrong.

I can’t put trail cams out now, I hunt Iowa public. I’m not allowed that invaluable intel from now on. In prior years I used the intel throughout the whole season to target specific bucks because it’s how I like to hunt. Im not happy….at all.

Hey Jeff, quick question. We have 30 acres approx 6ish acres of overgrown pasture. Parents just had most of bush hogged cause it was wildly overgrown. Looking for a good broadcast blend for a fall plot just to get something started in certain areas. Don’t have large equipment. Located Northwest NC. Suggestions?

Just put in my waterhole this morning. Found out I got a 500 gal. tank, not a 300..lol Filling second tank to run back and fill it to the top. Then backfill. Going to be awsome except I forgot to bring camera up. Also broadcasting buckwheat after that. Right on schedule... I know, surprised me too!

Thanks Jeff

How short do you mow the clover? Would a weed whipper work or need a cleaner blade cut? Thanks Jeff

I have a food plot in the woods and mineral site 20 yards of it in my woods behind my house

Hope you have a great day tomorrow! I’m headed down to Lake City for the weekend (with family). Prey for sunshine!

With the sun backlighting and the angle the deer looks like a cardboard cutout. Now I have a use for all those shipping boxes besides recycling them!

Ohio clover plotter. Do deer hit your clover plots this time of year? Seems like they’re hitting elderberry/early successional growth in my area. Thanks!

I like to watch antler growth through the summer and to see the fawns.

I am surrounded by alfalfa and ag in central Illinois. Very little wooded property in the area.. I have about 5 acres of river bottom soil on a permission property available that does not have cattle run on it. Clover has been the only relatively “shade tolerant” seed I have been able to grow consistently. I did the work to clear about 1/4 acre, lime it, and put seed out for my 10 yr old. It draws a lot of daytime activity. While we aren’t shooting monsters, I love that my son has filled tags the past 2 yrs.

I’m loving my 15 acres of clover/alfalfa. Fall seeded last year and now it’s really coming up nice. It’s been a really wet spring it’s a thick carpet. Sprayed 2-4db last week doing a shot of cleth next week. Just seeded another 5 acres of canola now planning on topping it off with winter rye labor day.

Great Summary n overview AS Always 😎

Harvest limits on private land I understand...any one deer is part of the whole...on private land any government entity should have no say on how the owner can survail/observe their private property....just an observation from a 70 yo USMC vet deer fanatic..

What do you benefit from deleting my comments? You have a big platform and need to think seriously on the effects you have on the environment, a lot of uneducated people watch your videos and think you’re some type of agricultures god and they take your word for truth, you are helping damage the future of our country by spraying needless chemicals it’s time to do better.

I love Gaylord Michigan and that whole northern area in general. Vanderbilt is a nice quiet spot. If you're looking for food while you're there, BC Pizza in Gaylord is spectacular... get the patrolman special. You'll thank me later.

😂 the end

Makes complete sense
