- February is one of the biggest months to get a lot accomplished when it comes to getting a head start for next season's deer hunting success. There is so much to do, even tho the deer season seems so far away. Here is what we are doing in February of 2025 to stay on track...

Great reminders! Found 1st shed here on farm in southern Ohio but several nice bucks still holding antlers.
Good luck!! We will hit it towards end of Feb early March for sure!
Just leased my first 10 acre property. Just walked it yesterday and it has a 1 acre beaver pond. Excited to employee some of your ideas. Thanks again.
We had Wes at our property in Mn yesterday, absolutely a wealth of knowledge. Thanks again WHS
Thanks Jeff
You are welcome!
Love my Kubota MX6000. Just enough lift power to lift 2000lb pallets off the trucks and has hydro drive. Does everything I need it too with over 100 food plots a year
Those are really nice! About 25-30hp light for what we would need tho. Planters...and some of our pallets get closer to 3000#s. I put over 500 hours on an L4610 back in the day with a similar lift capacity to that MX6000... definitely need something larger for what we would do. Also need a large cab with a buddy seat. Need a heavier tractor too...just to keep it from being too tippy on our hills lifting rednecks and moving down steep terrain. Definitely need bigger tho
Working on thinning trees to get more light to the ground, cool time of year is nice for heavy labor.
-15 Here in Northern Ny with 2 feet of snow in the woods and 6 to 8 foot drifts. We are hibernating here.. I would like nothing more than to be out in the woods today.
Now that's some very rough conditions!! Yes...a great time to stay INSIDE!
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 that's great advice. I recommend spending time in your heated hunting shacks like I did yesterday...pulled off a double yote kill just before dark and save a few fawns in the spring.
Your state is awful
@Smartass_McGee Yes it is. Yet 90 percent of the state votes Red and is a huge Ag state. NYC F's us....I own farm land and it's all Amish near me. It's a beautiful state North and west of Albany..
@sandych33ks1 understood, but even though NYC screws the rest of you that's only possible because they are part of you
Here in northern Michigan we have over 2 feet of snow. I was thinking about taking my snowmobile out and marking trees I want to cut but aside from that-we’re waiting a few more weeks it looks like 🤷🏽♂️
Jeff, can you start making Turkey hunting videos as well?! Would be very interested in content like that for this upcoming spring turkey season.
We sure will! We have done a little of that in the past but definitely more very soon
Just cleared another food plot area about an acre in size
And some downed tree cleanup
That 12 doesn't look that old, What say you Jeff Hope you see him next season!
He is a really nice one! Definitely 4.5 with a bett r chance of being 5.5 than 3.5. slim chance of not being 4.5 tho. Helps having pics from the neighbor from last year tho...
Time to look for more sheds.Have a couple young o es here still holding both sides as of last week.But some have shed both sides.
We are just starting to see a couple of the non wounded bucks drop. I would say roughly 5-10% have fallen? We will head out when that % is closer to 70-80%
I just cleared a big canopy area starting with the lower story trees first then took out some big trees . I don’t have help to burn but have a good leaf blower. Thick duff of leaves. Should I let the seed bank just do its thing or purchase some native seed blends?
👍🏻
morning jeff. 🦌🦌🦌
Morning Steve!
Are beach trees good or bad for hinge cutting?
What are you using to keep your water tanks open in winter?
There is nothing you really can use, except electricity. Solar is a huge panel and a large number of batteries...we have one near our home that we can plug in. We have a cattle tank heater in it and that has worked down into the negative 20s.
How do u know it's the same deer from year to year ?
The geometry of the antler shape is amazing... extremely easy to tell just by that alone.
😁🦌
Good morning Connor!
I have a buddy who said last year he had deer spook on a windy day from a ghillie blind. Yours is down low. His was exposed to more wind and was first year
We have them up high too. I can honestly say they blend in the best out of any blind we have ever use...up high or low. We have roughly 12 hard sided rednecks...and have used at least a dozen various popups. They are awesome! That new setup we have there we have had up to 4 year old bucks and various mature does walk right by within the first few days and they don't seem to mind one bit. Pretty dang cool! They give off a very soft, camo and hidden look. Zero shine. Very natural looking...
Buck theft is real 😂
😁
Couldn't believe i caught and broke leg of a turkey this year with foot trap for coyotes. How rare is that?😢
Wow Scotty that seems like extremely bad luck for that turkey!
Your thoughts on more rabbits bringing in more coyotes? Only real deer predator here in NE ohio.
I would never worry about that. You could look at it a different way too in that coyotes are always going to be going around and never going away. However, you could say that with a lack of small game (and the thick cover that goes along with lots of wildlife) then coyotes will focus more on deer.
@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 good point!
Name that buck 12pt - Dirty Dozen!
Kindly Stealing him from the neighbor. 😜
Yes, kindly 😁
First
Yep!
Hey Pal. Your country has declared financial warfare on our Canada. I no longer desire to listen to your channel about buying American products.
Our countries have done business together beyond our generation. What trump has done is personal. Unsubscribed.
Boy...that's pretty funny. Good bye, lol. Yes, when Trump and I discussed this at breakfast the other day, I wasn't sure he would go thru with it 😂
Didn't Trudoe Resign ?
Well……..bye
Time to look for more sheds.Have a couple young o es here still holding both sides as of last week.But some have shed both sides.
