Where Do Bucks Bed? 

Thanks Jeff 💯

That's why I enjoy your videos. No BS. This is what you gotta do, period. Thanks again for all you do.

Great segment. Has given me a new thought on our 106 acre property.

Jeff, I just wanted to say thank you so much for selling only services and information. I just heard a podcast making a jab at your methods because it is contrary to a product they are involved with. I don't have to worry about such nonsense on your channel. Keep it up! Hard work and honesty for the win!

I love Jeff’s no nonsense approach to everything. Thanks Jeff for solid knowledge and wisdom!

Congratulations on 200k Jeff, and thank you for the *volumes* of great information and intel you continually provide. No magic, no gizmos... instead process, procedure, hard work, and a Plan - always a plan! Awesome.

i thought#4 said apples everywhere at first and i feel like that would still be correct 🙂

Want to thank you again. Second season hunting only using a bow in upstate NY. Nobody ever took me out hunting just learned online from guys like you and others. Took a doe and button buck on oct 5th for my first deer ever and doubled up. Dec 7th took my first buck a nice 8pt that couldn’t look away from his doe. Thank you

200k Congrats!

Great, straight forward message Jeff! Hope all is well!

They stay at motel 6

Thanks Jeff!

Did I miss the “4. Apples Everywhere” part?

Congrats on 200k!!!

Another great video Jeff, Thanks again for sharing your knowledge 👍

Awesome information. Glad you didn’t divulge any secrets!

Jeff great video! I can't wait to have Dylan out on my property! I am very excited to get his ideas for layered lay out! Thanks!

Love all your videos! I'm learning a lot and looking forward to apply it. Thanks!

Thanks Jeff 👍 suing over secrets! Seriously 🤪 Not like you were going to give out Colonel Sanders secret recipe😁

THESE ARE ALL MY SECRETS! You’ll be hearing from my lawyers! 😂 happy New Years to you and yours Jeff. Have been watching your channel for years and not having come from a hunting family I consider you one of my main hunting mentors. I really appreciate your time and knowledge.

As always great video brother and thanks for all the help ..I tagged out this season and watching your videos played a big part in why..so thanks you

I cannot express enough how much what you are making available to the public has changed my view on hunting and conservation. I have purchased your three books and cannot wait to read them. It will be nice to take a break from Crop Sciences research. Thank you.

I just love these videos.thank you

Hey Jeff. Congratulations on 200k subs. Fantastic. I just passed 200 and was pumped, lol. Love the channel, learning lots. It’s really helping me with my new 180 acres in Ga. Keep pushing forward brother.

Really excited to put some of your concepts into play this year. Picked up my first piece of hunting property in Hillsdale County Michigan last fall!

I can’t believe it wasn’t that long ago you were just breaking 100 thousand subscribers??And now over 200.People are listening.Your content is the best.Thanks for all both of you do.Looks easy.But it’s not..

Another great, straight forward, no nonsense video on layering bedding. After hearing you talk about this late last year, I put in a food plot and did a few things to make doe bedding close by. I went out into the area yesterday since our season is over and found several beds in the area that I was hoping to have does bed. This info is spot on! I will be cutting some trees to leave as side cover, adding a few juniper or eastern red cedars and planting some browse around the current bedding area and working on buck bedding this spring. Currently the property is overgrown with green briar. Do you have a recommendation for getting it thinned out? Thanks for the wealth of information and the dedication to the art of hunting and land management.

Jeff, if you were ever looking for another subject for more videos. Love to see your monthly chore list for the public land bow hunter

Congrats on the 200k Jeff. Out of all the you tube shows I watch especially on buck bedding I never hear anyone talk about logging roads. I have seen this since the 70s Bucks love bedding on old overgrown logging roads here in se Mn. you must see this on your property. Especially logging roads that have different elevations. OOPS is that the secret? Am I getting sued!? lol.

Congrats on the 200k Jeff! It was excellent meeting you at ATA

Now I want to know the whole story off the assholes that wanted to sue you.

Wish you would have called this person out whos threatening to sue...

You're videos are so relevant and entertaining ! Ty 👍🏻 Is it ok to put lime on top of snow ? Thanks and keep 'em coming ! Go 🏈

I'm a firm believer in salt and minerals deposits . Helps keep big deer around plus. a lick never gets snow covered . Took me four years to astablish the lick but I've pulled bucks over 225lbs every year since.

Another excellent video Jeff. I got 300 acres with heavy wooded area with another sections off other people property about 100 acres with farm fields beside could I set I no till food plots in my area with the amount off coverage I have. And keep up the great work loving your videos

WHS is herd influencer. NiceWork WHS team on the 200k!

If u have great layered bedding, how does wind direction effect this on a daily basis??

I only know of one character that was suing over secrets. He’s def a character too. He should go back to boot cam and worry about real things instead of silly frivolous lawsuits.

That story was hilarious 🤣

Jeff- Can you do a video on more "urban" deer? We are battling urban sprawl and what was once the neighbors woods and ag field is increasingly becoming 1-5 acre lots with new homes. How does this affect mature bucks?

Cant believe somebody was wanting to sue you for “deer hunting secrets”😂😂😂 People are crazy! But there’s more than one way to skin a cat👍🏼

Yesssss!

💫

I have this huge buck that kept bedding behind my house and my dad would spook it often going to work but unfortunately not allowed to hunt in that area. Not sure why it would keep coming back

Got it. There is no secret, you just need to have a keen eye.

Would love to hear the story of Venti and where he ended up getting shot. Plus why you think he was there.

Well good for you 200k wow outstanding

Morning Jeff! How do you feel about letting the timber guy take some of the more bigger undesirable leaning oak trees out?

Is a waterhole considered baiting/ illegal in Wisconsin

Um! Let me make a wild guess, lawsuit threatened by another habitat consultant who may or may not be in another Great Lakes State and may or may not have a self devouring ego, and may or may not also believe they have a proprietary rights to general information. But, I'll not mention any names.

Is veinti dead or are you letting him get bigger?

I fall asleep at night watching a LIVE RU-vid channel called Brownsville deer pantry in Main that feed deer about 500 pounds of oats per day. Ive noticed the bucks are king as long as they have their antlers but as soon as they lose their antlers the doe's rule the roost and push the bucks around. Do you find this to be true in your experience?

With respect to cover, is regeneration through increasing canopy in old growth timber enough to increase doe and buck bedding? I’ve got 120 acres of mainly oak, maple, etc. in northeast Wisconsin that hasn’t been logged in over 50 years. If I open the canopy to 30% or more, will understory growth be enough or will I have to plant cover?

They bed wherever they want to bed Seen mature bucks bed 50yds off the main road in over hunted public land, seen them bed in the thickest nastiest stuff miles away from any road! People these days have so over thought hunting it's not even funny, it's actually getting pretty Damn irritating actually Deer are where they are, find them, kill them, period! And yes, mature bucks not dinks But I guess everyone has to make a living some how

Got a question for you Jeffery. What if you have mostly hickory on your farm like alot of hickory just cut pockets out for revegor actually cut out and plant new in place that will be slot of work please don't say that lol

How can someone sue you over personal information that is not hurting national security....That is the only legal way for someone to sue you over what you do for you're job unless you have put clients on other private property based on old and outdated land ownership maps. That's the only way I could see it but, I'm sure Jeff is diligent enough to know his boundaries. Legally Jeff, you have the rights to talk about your personal information is protected my the Amendments and Bill of Rights. Make a video specifically towards those secrets. Their previous lawsuit was all bark no bite.

Sue somebody that's not how men work

The avoided lawsuit story reminds me why we need to go back to people getting their legs broke, just kidding just kidding don't get sensitive on me, butt no seriously haha

Here's a joke, why do you want to hunt corn piles, so you can give them their cwd shot

Little off topic but have you ever planted persimmon trees in or near food plots? How far north will them survive? I live in south west Michigan between Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo

It is totally different on highly pressured public lands versus these farms that are managed with food plots and bedding areas. They are not and will never be one and the same. Sorry but I'm not buying it!

Great simple explanation, thanks again. Always anticipate your next video! Depth of cover question.... is a property that is 2000' long x 350' wide enough to have food on both ends of the 2000' and still support the depth needed for the layering to take place? Mixed ag in central Michigan. Thanks again for all of the great content.
