With everyone sharpening chainsaws and preparing to get some work completed, we wanted to take a moment to discuss what is impactful and what is not. There are so many time wasting techniques out there that seem to grab the attention and distract away from sound habitat management practices.
The goal while working on a property is to improve the deer herd and its top-end quality, so to do that, we can't waste time on techniques such as, mock scrapes, water holes, monoculture grass plantings, and kill plots. These practices may just help you kill what deer are already on the property. However, practices such as old field management, timber stand improvement, prescribed burning, edge feathering, and destination food plots actually provide the local deer with more resources to improve their fitness. These practices are impactful and should be implemented during this habitat season.
Please make a difference this winter! Run the chainsaw just as much as you run trail cameras.
