Appreciate it! Is there anything hinge cuts or hack and squirts going on in Texas?

@@NWIWhitetails in our area we don’t have a whole lot of hardwoods. It’s mostly smaller mesquite trees that are really like large bushes! 😂😂

West Texas Hunting Guys that’s kinda what I was picturing. I’ve never hunted in Texas but from your videos that’s what I’ve learned. You’ll need to try hunting up north sometime.

It can do a lot of good!

It really depends on what you’re trying to achieve. But I’d tend to agree with that.

It’s effective pretty much any time of year except early spring when you have heavy sap flow. Also avoid doing it when trees are frozen solid.

That can happen. Hopefully the improvements you make will reroute the movement in the best way for your stand locations

I think it really depends on what your goals are, but overall I’d lean towards hinge cutting as the better option. If you’re going to kill the tree anyways why not try to let it live and provide cover and food for a little while

Have you tried either method in Michigan?

@@NWIWhitetails no but were gonna do some on my uncles 112 acres soon.
