Hinge Cutting Trees Creates More Food and Habitat for Deer

We practice hinge cutting, the process of cutting trees with no economic value and letting the tops of those trees fall over, on quite a few of the farms where we plant green fields. Hinge cutting makes open areas thicker and creates feeding, bedding and cover for deer.

What To Feed Deer Throughout the Year

I think one very important approach to green field plantings is to remember that deer are browsers and eat a wide variety of different foods. I've seen deer walk out of a clover patch into the woods and start feeding on greenbrier. To solve that problem, we plant several different crops in each one of our green fields.

How To Create a Turkey Friendly Property

In the early spring, I go back into our green fields and plant wheat for the turkeys. There’s also clover in many of the BioLogic mixes we plant for deer. We leave some of our ground freshly plowed, because turkeys seem to like fresh earth. I’ll see them bugging in the crops we've planted for them and the mature birds dusting in that freshly turned earth where we don’t plant anything. We’re also conscious of

A History of Planting for Wildlife

I first learned the value of planting for wildlife many years ago. I was hunting in Cocke County, Tennessee, on one of my cousin’s farms. My cousin said, “Benny, go right out there to the corner of the tobacco patch. I've got oats planted there, and deer love oats.”

4 Reasons to Plant a Barrier for Your Food Plot

Remember that a deer’s eyes are much more sensitive to movement than a hunter’s eyes are, and a deer’s eyes can focus on both nearby and distant objects at the same time with the eyes set high and spread wide apart, allowing a deer to almost see around itself. A deer’s ears are more attuned to listening for hunters as they move back and forth through the woods. We often spook more deer going to

I'd selected a stand site where the dense underbrush funneled into a 40-yard-wide strip. I was sure this was where he would walk and I
