This channel is about all things forestry and wildlife habitat, mostly whitetail deer habitat improvement. If you are interested in adding value to your land and making a better place to hunt, you can find some good free advice here.
I am a masters level Forester trained at Penn State University, as SAF certified professional Forester AND a licensed Realtor in the State of Pa.
As a Forestry and Wildlife Habitat Consultant in PA, I have worked on hundreds of properties throughout the Eastern U.S. Much of my work centers around timber management and food plot installations to improve carrying capacity of hunting properties.

Here in Southwest Missouri- I'm prepping some ground for a plot. Moving forward, I'm thinking I'll plant BWheat mid-June, then mow & rake it mid-August. At that point, my plan is to broadcast and aerate oats, ladino clover, and cereal rye into what I'm hoping becomes a real "honey-hole". I would appreciate your thoughts regarding my plan!!!
@ChilcoteForestryServices
@ChilcoteForestryServices 2 месяца назад
Sounds good but i usually dont put in a monoculture. You could add a legume and brassica (collards)as well as cowpeas & sunflowers. You can fit more biomass and mine more nutrients that way. If deer eat it all, just plant a new seeding for fall (cool season plants)

This video is dated August 2021, so I’m interested to find out if you did interplant corn with peas on purpose and if so what’s your results?
@ChilcoteForestryServices
@ChilcoteForestryServices 2 месяца назад
This was interesting because the peas came from the previous cover crop that had them in it. They just decided to show up. The nutrients from the cover crop supported the corn well. Peas can be planted with corn at the same time and i would like to experiment with that

It knows there's mice and shakes the tail to bait it's prey into thinking it's a worm to eat. My 6ft boa constrictor does the same thing while she's "hunting" for prey inside her enclosure. Wiggles the colorful tail tip like a worm which in the wild would attract a bird in a tree.

@@jeffstorey9147 Im not entirely disagreeing with you but it depends on the species of snake. When I lived in Arizona it was usually bad news for the mice and humans if a snake got in the house considering most snakes there were venomous. A lot of people are also deathly afraid of snakes so while a lot of them aren't venomous and maybe doing good they may also scare people to act irrationally.
