Really like you guys and the info you put out. Another "Habitat" guy seems to be taking the industry by storm. He has his own seeds now, sponsors and a huge following and i have learned alot from him, but, I've been following you guys too and for just as long and I like your way of instruction and detail better. You two seem to be very humble guys who truly enjoy helping fellow hunters make their property more deer friendly.
Just started watching this channel, but have been watching the other for awhile. I like both and will watch both, but I do seem to understand your pictures and plans better and the way you explain. Both great channels. Thanks for the content
I Have personally had both Jake and Randy to my property in SW Michigan. Each at separate times. Both are extremely knowledgeable and are excellent teachers. Would HIGHLY recommend either of them!! Our property has greatly improved over the past 3 years due to their advice.
Thank you for taking the time to give what I consider to be an honest recomendation of both. My family owns 183 acrest of land in Alabama. The land has not been managed for deer in the past 51 years, but next year my brother and I will begin a management program for trophy bucks. Good hunting.
As a long time DIYer in habitat I enjoy watching you and Jakes videos picking up as many tidbits as possible from each one. I have learned a lot from watching videos and thru trial and error through out the years. It seems like there is always something new to learn or try. Habitat has become almost more enjoyable than the hunting. Would love to walk a property with you and or Jake sometime just to observe. Keep putting out the videos
Quick Tip: if you live in a high pressure area. Drive your ATV everyday Dawn and Dusk. Firing your rifle every 10 mins. It’s a guarantee unwanted hunters will leave and not come back. Then within 1-2 years you will have a beautiful area filled with all the deer just for you 😉
My biggest problem on the lease I hunt is we can't cut any pine trees on it due to it being a timber lease. And most of the property is pines. We have hard woods on the edges and some spot areas inside the pines but that's it.
I'm in SW Georgia, long-leaf pine woods (quail woods) mixed with live oak flats and Cyprus swamps. Surrounded by land of the same makeup and topography. Is hinge cutting effective when you already have endless thickets and bedding areas on a property?
What is the minimum acreage for a habitat? I own 45 acres and about 35-40 of it is dedicated to habitat. The property is long with heavy woods and climbs upward.
I’m in mid Michigan, have 140 acres. I would like to do a hinge cut class and would like your contact information to have you come walk my property and help my father in law and I put with how we should set this up.
The large fields seen at 0:31 seconds in the videos surrounded by clover. what is planted in those? Native warm season grasses? Old field management where it was just let go?
Hi, I noticed in the video you went as far as Arkansas and Oklahoma. I have a property in Eastland Co, Texas that needs habitat improvement done. Do you service Texas or have anybody you would refer who does?
Sorry but your title is misleading. I thought I was going to get some tips on habitat improvement and all I got was a commercial for your business. Most people can't afford to hire guys like you therefore we look for tips on how to improve our land on our own.
As a Michigan hunter, I enjoy you both greatly and am proud you are from here.

Huge following usually means information people can use or relate to !! Is Jeff's info bad or wrong?

Can you give more on the detailed work done after hinge cutting?
Awesome information living the dream
Did you ever do a second video on scent control- especially boots?
I would like to learn more about the detail work
Do you do any basic planning using maps, deer trails, current topography and land owners incite without actually going to the land?
Ever tried this in Maine
I hear good and bad things that come with hinge cutting.
I'm in SW Georgia, long-leaf pine woods (quail woods) mixed with live oak flats and Cyprus swamps. Surrounded by land of the same makeup and topography. Is hinge cutting effective when you already have endless thickets and bedding areas on a property?
Not in most cases
Yes everyone has big bucks like that that and no stay on your property, so no other one hunts them
What is the minimum acreage for a habitat? I own 45 acres and about 35-40 of it is dedicated to habitat. The property is long with heavy woods and climbs upward.
what do you recommend on cedar trees? thick clusters of cedars.
Do you know about hunting in the mid Carolina’s?
Do you think that hinge cutting should be implemented on every property? Why or why not?
Not every property. Too many reasons to list here.
