What Is A Deer Sanctuary?!? | Creating Defined Deer Bedding Areas

The term "sanctuary" gets thrown around a lot among most landowners and hunters in general. But, what should you actually consider a sanctuary on your property? Is it part of your property you never disturb? Is it what you believe to be a bucks core area? Matt Dye and Adam Keith of Land & Legacy discuss their thoughts and opinions on what a whitetail deer sanctuary is, and how to strategically implement them on your property!

Worked and had my family farm with 3, 2 acre bedding areas that i hunt small food plots around. The first hunt this year, i watch a friend from the other side of the family walk straight into the bedding and set up aiming at me. He shot at a 9 point that morning between us basically, rung my ears good too. That buck was never seen back in the bedding the rest of the year....

Dang! Gotta be careful out there for sure!

Awesome video. Keep em coming

I recently cut a 1 acre closed canopy woods of a mix of 80+ year oaks (left standing) took out the hickory's, iron wood and maples. I have a huge trail system I cut through my mix of hinge and flush cuts and a BIG hole in the sky. I have 2-3" of oak leaves that are on the ground in entire area. Do I need to leaf blow thhat area out to expose the soil or just leave the leaves? Awesome video's thanks in advance.

[@Whitetail_Properties]

Leave the leaves!! Those are going to be your fuel load for if/when you decide to burn the area, which we would highly recommend! Usually on year 2-3 after you cut. It will help set back woody growth and stimulate the herbaceous growth. But, ultimately it is dependent on your objectives and goals for the site! Nice work, thanks for sharing!

Thank you for taking the time to reply! Keep the video's coming. @@Whitetail_Properties

[@Whitetail_Properties]

@@MegaBraunie You bet, and will do! Keep those habitat projects rolling!

[@dylanthrall5657]

You can't predict deer on oaks every year so I keep the big ones in bedding the rest in there I will cut

[@Eaglethree33]

How close to food plots do you recommend this be done? Thank you!

[@Whitetail_Properties]

There are many factors specific to individual properties that would determine the distance in relation to a food plot, but we would recommend 100-300 yards roughly.

First!

You guys really work out your arms when you talk.

[@KendallGray1]

I work out my arm when pointing to where I think the deer are
