- Jim Brauker of Extreme Deer Habitat and Jake Ehlinger of Habitat Solutions gave a workshop on Hinge Cutting for deer habitat at the 2014 Quality Deer Management Association ( QDMA ) National Convention in Athens Georgia. Jake used a hand drawn aerial view of the property to show the plan he devised to improve deer bedding and movement on the property. They created a hinge cut deer bedding area and a hinge cut transition zone from bedding to food using hinge cutting techniques. The pair presented a workshop the year before that went into detail about how to properly hinge cut a tree and the three main kinds of structures produced to create hinge cut bedding, barriers, and transition zones. In 2014 they went beyond that to show how to hinge cut to produce predictable movement of doe families from bedding to food through a hinge cut transition zone about 25 yards from an archery stand location. Michigan resident Dan Timmons aka farmlegend helped prepare the are and helped Jake demonstrate the building of a hinge cut buck bed in real time. Leon Hank ran the camera.
Production value is not terribly high as this was run from a single camera, but if we ever begin to place production values ahead of content we should be taken to the wood shed.
I was enthralled. Maybe one of the best videos about deer I have ever watched. Thank-you
What a wonderful video and presentation. Thank you so much for doing this. Keep up the good work.
Awesome workshop, learned a lot!
the best video ever Same thing I do for ten years Knowledge from my dad AND IT WORKS
Which types of trees, tall grass, and scrubs do you have on your michigan property? Do the hinge cut trees and the saplings that come out because of that produce most of your cover in your woods or do you supplement. I'm just getting into the arborist side of hunting and I wanna see what your working with. Thanks and liked!
How many bedding areas would you designate on a 90 acre area with 60% cattle pasture, 20% timber and 20% swamp? I’d like to set up small food plots between the neighbors ag and bedding but not sure how many plots to make? If I should focus it on one line of movement or several to surrounding ag
What about in white cedar swamps? How do u hinge a cedar?
Is that a hand drawn map? How would I go about getting a map like that?
Jake makes hand drawn maps for all his clients as part of their property design. They are beautiful. Many people frame them. I had that one framed for the QDMA and the last time I was at the National Office they had it hanging there.
Anyone know of a habitat specialist that works in Alberta Canada?
what if you don't have a DR Mower what should I use... a weed eater or what?
+BIGBANEY 00 Weed eater will not cut woody stuff. You can buy a blade for some models though. Or you can do by hand with machete or sickle.
Ok, thank you for you comment and i liked the video. I took a lot of notes so I can make my camp hunting property better than it ever has been. I'm only 15 so I'm hoping to do the things that were in the video next year with my camp members
who is the guy w/sunglasses on looking up at the sky all the time???
Dan Timmons (sp?)
