The Low Cost/No Cost Habitat Hack to Hold More Deer

The hunting season is built in the spring. I'm on a mission to create the most productive small-acre hunting property possible, but food plots are only half the battle. Most of this property was choked with "empty calorie" invasives like autumn olive and buckthorn—thick cover, but zero food. Today, we’re changing that by planting Red Osier Dogwood. Red Osier Dogwood is a win-win: it provides high-quality deer browse and dense bedding cover. In this video, I document the entire process of prepping the site, using a chemical-free weed suppression method with landscape fabric, and planting for a 100% success rate. If you want to turn your "junk" woods into a whitetail sanctuary, this is the blueprint. In this video, we cover: Choosing the right location (The "Wet Feet" Strategy). Why I use landscape fabric instead of chemicals in wet areas. The technical way to plant cuttings for a massive root system. Creating a "Future Nursery" for free cuttings in 2027. Fencing and caging to protect your investment from deer.
