I cut many pockets like this on my farm. Made a huge difference. I saddle hunt so I made sets on the edge of the henge cuts in range of the cleared trails. Thanks Jake for sharing your success.
Thanks Ryan, Your 100% correct those giving hinge cuts a bad rap have never seen or implemented them as they should be; a tool to increase deer predictablity!
Question, do you find your local predators seek these areas out? I have been making new hinge cut bedding areas and the coyote sign is crazy. Even say tracks in the snow up on a waste high tree.
Always a great share. Thanks
Great visual video Jake! Creating hinge cut bedding is some of the funnest habitat work there is in the whitetail world!
i totally agree, Randy!
Outstanding video. Thanks for posting!

Thats awesome, glad to hear your having success with this method too, have a great day!
Great stuff, thanks for sharing.
Great video, Jake! I find hinge cutting gets a bad rap only because people fail to complete and maintain the detail work. Keep up the great work!

Nice job Jake, this should bring dividends in 2023
Awesome video. Great to see the progress made. What is meant by "barber chair"?
That's a term hen you hinge a straight grained tree and it slipts way high leaving the tall flat back appearing to be a "barber chair".

When clearing a path through the hinge cuts how wide do they need too be?
