I've just been recently watching these videos on youtube...then I decided to search for hinge cutting here on TOO and this thread popped up...Dan's property (the one they talk about setting up) is somewhat similar to the property I hunt...except his looks to have a lot more, fully grown trees...I am currently working on a plan for next spring for the property I hunt (planning) and will likely adjust it after I see what the deer are currently doing this year...keeping it simple though...
1)improve existing bedding area (add some buck beds)
2)place small and various food plots on opposite side of property
3)place a stand in between (on heavily used trail (runs North & South)
4)place a stand on the north/east side of the "Honey Holes"
5)improve on existng trail that runs North/south (the length of the property
a few of these things I think can get done within the next few weeks here without disturbing most of the deer movement.
If it were you, starting out with a newer property, trying to make the most improvement you could for this upcoming season, what things would you consider doing as quickly as possible to make the best impact before the season gets here?
I was thinking hinge cutting bedding areas and possibly some around the property border to help keep things screened from the drive and roads...I was also thinking about throw & gro for the honey holes even though I haven't treated any of the locations yet.
