- Better deer hunting through habitat management! Grant evaluates a bedding area that was recently burned. Check out the incredible results of the prescribed fire! See the diversity of plants and learn about the benefits for wildlife: umbrella plants, preferred deer browse, successional growth, cover for whitetails and more. Then Grant digs deeper into food plots to show how the Buffalo System makes food plots more productive, healthier and easier to establish.

I really like this "Buffalo" type of planting. The fact that no chemicals are being used is a true benefit to the environment .
I love burn offs. Best way to manage ticks too.
Amazing! This is all about conditioning the soil to do its best work. Mother Earth has things figured out so much better that we do!
Amen!
Again, great video guys! After seeing fawns this year I've been trying to see if what I thought was rutting activity on my cameras matches up with when the does would have been breeding. It's been very interesting, and actually was pretty cool to match behaviors and fawns dropping. This has been one of the most consistent fawning seasons I've seen. Really enjoy the information I pick up and or get reminded of from your videos! Hope the family and growing deer team are all doing well!
Just established a new hidey hole food plot today been getting pics of some already good looking bucks and a couple fawns which is awesome because I never see many of them! I’ll keep you updated hopefully I’ll drag a big buck or at least a couple does out of that food plot this fall!
Really like your common sense approach. Your ideas make it easier for the average Joe to get results
Thanks L.D. and enjoy creation!
This video is awesome. Thank you so much for the great work you all are doing. I've used mulch in the past from tree cutters working in my neighborhood and it transformed the dirt over the winter into a deep rich soil that was wonderful for my gardens and now I have moved to an area with deer and I want to learn how to live and share with the wildlife in my area. I plan to transform the section of my wood area of the backyard to a healthy wildlife environment. Thanks again!
Iris - Sounds like a great project! Please share updates with me!
Great bit about the indicator species. Something our crew will look for in the future to check browse viability and volume.
Great!
Great Information , Thanks
Really like the buffalo system. That system seems to really keep giving back to the soil.
Gary - As we've learned more we now call it the Release Process because as you say it releases the soil's ability to improve and give more to crops!
Great stuff. As always. 👊
Thanks Adam! - grant
Now I know why it's called the buffalo system... genius!!!
Philip - Thanks! - grant
Is there a way I could go about planting native grasses and also black berry briars in a 40acre hay field that hasn’t changed in many years??? Didn’t know if just burning it off or disking it up would help get other species to start growing??
Do you find that you need to lime often or does the buffalo system amend the ph as well?
Is the Buffalo System only effective with a drill set-up, or can the same be achieved with broadcasting the seed and then crimping?
You can be successful with just broadcasting and then crimping. You're just limited to crops that dont need to planted "deep" and you'll have a lower germination rate.
What kind of cameras do you guys use to film your hunt
Finally found a seed drill that will work with a 25 hp tractor. Woefully, not a single crimper for a tractor that small. Any suggestions, Dr Woods?
Ghillie - RTPOutdoor has a pull behind model but I believe they are currently sold out.
Thank you for your information.
Is it necessary to call for a permit to burn the leafy debris? (in KY)
I'm not sure about Kentucky's regulations regarding prescribed fire. - grant
@@GrowingDeerTV Thank you.
What do you use to terminate the small trees?
He said glyphosate herbicide was used to eliminate a stand of small trees. It makes the fire easier to control, but a nice hot fire with zero herbicide will terminate small trees
Where can I get native seeds for Missouri?
MDC has a seed nursery. However, native vegetation will almost always sprout after disturbance such a fire. This is how the planet was created.
