What You Get when you Hire Legendary Habitat To Consult on Your Property

I have put together this short video explaining what to expect when a landowner hires Legendary Habitat to consult on their property, in order to achieve your hunting and habitat goals. I thoroughly enjoy working with clients giving habitat recommendations based on real world experience and several years working with some of the top Whitetail Land Managers in the country.

Creating Predictable Deer Movement! [Deer Steering trails]

In this short video I show how to create more predictable movement by cutting steering trails and adding hinge cuts in certain areas, to direct deer where I want them to go. Along with that I add in a micro plot that will be planted in Green Cover Seeds “Fall Release” blend. Michigan Seed distributor for Green Cover Seeds: https://greencover.com/drop-points/

How to- Create Bedding in Low Land Habitat [Reed Canary Grass]

In this short video I show how I go about creating individual buck beds within a doe bedding area along a property line. This section is taken over with reed canary grass and by hinge cutting trees into this area, it can give the grass something to lay over onto, creating great cover for fall/winter bedding. The most important part is creating enough side and overhead cover for bucks to feel completely comfortable away from the doe family groups.

No-Till Food Plots! (Introduction into Roller Crimping & Cover Crops)

In this video I show the process I used to start implementing Cover Crops and Roller Crimping into my food plot program. There are many benefits to this including; improving organic matter, reducing herbicide use, building healthier soils, suppressing weeds, helping retain moisture and many more!

Creating Hinge Cut Bedding Areas With Jim Brauker

In this Video I had the pleasure of working with Hinge Cut expert Jim Brauker at his Southern Michigan property. We created several micro doe bedding areas and multiple individual buck beds. Jim also explains the importance of creating bedding close to your property edge, which can be very beneficial on properties were hunter’s hunt along your property line. This moves deer into your property when spooked by the neighboring hunters. Dr. Jim’s Book: https://extremedeerhabitat.com/buy-the-book/ Please Like & Subscribe!

How To Conventionally Fell A Tree (The basics)

This video shows the basics to properly felling a tree. This does not include other more advanced techniques that I am hoping to cover in a part 2 video. I Learned this though working with experienced guys that work in land Management and whitetail habitat. As well as books including “how to fell a tree” which I highly recommend you read before you start cutting trees, or hinge cutting.

How To- Create Buck Bedding In Swamps/Wetlands

In this video I go over how I have started to create individual buck beds in a swamp with some higher ground, that has maple and tamarack trees which can be successfully hinge cut, to create more sunlight and cover. This can be a great way to take advantage of wetlands on your property, and built individual beds that that include; high & dry spots, side and overhead cover, low human pressure, and close proximity to doe’s.

Frost Seeding Clover!

It’s not to late to get out and frost seed! This is a existing clover plot that I am over-seeding to help suppress any weed competition abs fill in bare spots. This can be a great way to establish a new clover plot, or keep a existing clover plot healthy and free of weeds.

I enthusiastically support anyone who wants to improve their deer habitat to hire this young man. Although he is young and does not have as much experience as many habitat experts, he is priced appropriately so that you are sure to benefit from the service he will provide.

Converting Old Ag Field Into Early Successional Bedding

September 2021

With this project, I am taking a old ag field that has not been farmed in 40 years or more and creating quality whitetail bedding and food. I am in the process of planting hundreds of trees and shrubs which include; Silver maple, red maple, american beech, box elder, red osher dogwood, flowering dogwood, smooth sumac, hazelnut, ash, red oak, white oak, swamp chestnut oak, choke cherry, and American elm to name a few. This area will be sprayed in the spring to control the perennial grasses, and planted with pockets of switchgrass. There will also be two layers of screening added to the surrounding area of this valley, which consists of conifers, and an annual sorghum screen.

Hinge Cut Transition From Bedding To Food

June 2021

This area on our farm is a low spot with Reed Canary Grass, Bigtooth Aspen, and Streamco Willow. My plan that I have started to implement is to hinge cut or traditionally fell 90% of the trees and let most fall into the grass, giving it structure to fall on when it dies in the winter. This will create great bedding and great side cover for this transition area. Most of the Aspen will be cut during winter, when the tree is dormant and the energy is stored in the root system. In the spring all the stored energy from the root system will create hundreds of new shoots, creating food and cover at a deer's level.

Using Cover Crops To Build Poor Soil

June 2021

Over the last two years I have began to use and try different cover crops on our farm in southern Michigan, and our family farm in northern Michigan. Through many years of planting food plots, and diving further into soil health and cover crops, I have learned the most through my failures. As I continue to experiment with cover crops and building healthy soil, I hope to share this knowledge with my current and future clients, helping them save time, money, while creating very successful food plots.

If you would like help designing food plots, building better soil, or knowing what to plant, feel free to contact me with any question's.

I am also a Green Cover Seed distributor based in southeast Michigan. Call myself or visit Greencoverseed.com to learn more about the food plot seed they offer, or to create your own custom mix.
