When creating better deer hunting habitat we all wonder...will deer eat this? In this video, 3 experts show us how to identify native plants. Then Grant explains the ones that deer love to eat. If you are a deer hunter wanting to create better native vegetation for healthier deer and more abundant wildlife, watch this video! The experts explore the bounty of native plants restored through prescribed fire.

I'm a huge believer in prescribed fire used for the encouragement of native plants on the landscape. Deer lived for eons on native vegetation before there ever was a food plot, a corn feeder, or even an ag field! Studies show a consistent high percentage of a deer's daily diet consists of native plant material. If you want the best deer habitat possible or the best turkey habitat, you have to include native species in the mix. Great video!!

My wildlife biologist sent me your link. I spent most of the day watching the videos. A totally different technique than my spray and disc method. I’m converted. The sensible land management methodologies are to replicate the way God does it. It’s kind of silly in retrospect how most food plotters got so far away from the natural plant cycles. I love your saying “never clean the table”. Thank you for sharing.

I just wanted to say thank you for this episode. I love the food plot and hunting tips but this has to be my favorite episode. I bought a small property that I’m managing for deer and hopefully turkey and quail. This episode gives me a renewed hope i can turn my small property into a wildlife paradise. Thanks again.

Outstanding segment, if for no other reason than 1) explaining "native vegetation and forbes", 2) using state conservation staff (sorely UNDER USED by hunters/conservationists) and 3) showing that even a PhD welcomes help outside his/her specificity! Another great one, Dr. Woods.

We spray it every year, but it always comes right back the following year. Any recommendations on getting the upper hand on this invasive?

@frenchpotato2852 4 месяца назад

Where do your habitat management places take place? In the South eastern us we had a native wolf called the red wolf (Canis Rufus). The red wolf’s diet consists mostly of turkey nest predators, rodents, and deer (which they believe don’t have a significant impact on their numbers). They also push out coyotes and could greatly benefit you and other land managers.

@GrowingDeerTV 4 месяца назад

We often work from Canada to south Florida. I schooled at Georgia and Clemson. Actually coyotes freely bred with red wolves and dilute thier population. Coyotes were part of the demise of red wolves throughout their range. That's why Red Wolves were protected along a portion of the coast in NC - there were no coyotes there at the time.

@frenchpotato2852 4 месяца назад

@@GrowingDeerTV Hey! I appreciate you getting back to me. They have what they are sure are pure red wolves, some speculate that one of the problems that cause red wolves to hybridize with coyotes is that there are not enough red wolves to sustain themselves, in fact, the dominant kind of red wolves "mistaken as coyotes" are breeding adults who get shot and their packs get broken up, since the wolf population is too small to support itself, they hybridize. Thanks so much for getting back, I appreciate your channel.

Burn Burn Burn. How about high density, multi-species grazing? Fire is one tool, you seem to use it as though it is your only option.

Dan - Grazing can be a good tool if there are the appropriate fences, water sources, and someone with the stock and will manage them. Those resources aren't available to most.
