Got a notice from Deer and Deer hunting that they are starting a new on line deer land management show hosted by Steve Bartylla. Looks interesting on the 1st show. We'll see how it goes.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPJ7MPsUpzI
What channel? Or how are you tuning in?
Deer and Deer Hunting magazine sent me a email link to the Youtube. I've been reading the magazine off and on for 30 yrs. It was my go to for deer hunting info until I found the TOO site. I must say I learned more good ideas about deer hunting off TOO site in the last 3 yrs. than I did in the previous 45 yrs. of deer hunting.Deer and Deer Hunting magazine is to me a great read and a cut way above any other hunting rags. It is almost a research report in many areas. IMHO
Frank, can you just add the links too this post??? It'll keep it going and confined too the single post....
The real deal issue in food plots is cover. Deer will be drawn to cover WAY more than food. Don't let them BS you on these shows. It's relatively easy for deer to find something to eat....its way harder to find a consistent place to hide.

yes cover will hold and draw more deer than food. Food is secondary to cover in almost all terms. seeing more deer is great frank. but we are talking about Big Deer as this show is dedicated too.Trying to understand. Then are you saying be more concerned about planting cover rather than food plots?
That could be the case in the wide open farm land up north. But down here in SW Ohio we have more brush cover area than we know what to do with. Food draw is the key for me and it's been working the last 2 yrs. I've seen more deer on my farm in 2 yrs. than I've seen total in 21 yrs. and it the food plot drawing the deer here.

Hinge cutting is joke too. Makes no sense.. Let's slowly kill a tree and then let it fall over and smash perfectly good trees. Put the dam things on the ground, make a brush pile and put the wood to use.

I feel victim to this. It was a joke for sure. Kinda pissed I did it now...
