Whitetail Landscapes

Many properties I visit are completely woodlots. It’s hard to know where to start and it’s even harder when the age class of trees has little to no variation. In my property mgt plans I breakdown basic/advanced techniques of working with elevation to compliment deer movement. Adding mixes or bedding in a bag isn’t something that is recommended on ground like this.... here’s a simple nondescript drawing of hillside setups. #nyhunting #ny #hunting #deer #habitat #deerlife #design #consulting #whitetaildeer #whitetail #365days #deerofinstagram #deernerd #hingecut #bigbucks #regeneration #woods #bickbuckdiaries #whitetaillandscapes

This year I was on a mission to tag one of 3 bucks I was after. I’m always of the mindset that having options is good. In NY, and at least for me, it’s rare to have several target deer. Well fortunately I killed one of them, passed the other twice and had to pass on this deer. The point is even in tough NY if you are patient and willing to pass younger deer, good things can happen! #nyhunting #huntny #deer #deerhabitat #deerhunting #sheds #deerhunter #triggercontrol #design #deerofinstagram #deerseason2020 #whitetailhabitatsolutions #bigbuckdiaries #whitetaillandscapes

The glory and distaste of deer season sits in a lot of our heads and guts. I’m still in inventory stage, tracking and figuring the deer that made it through our NY hunting season as they continue to herd up. What many might forget is developing your property during this time of year (providing cover and food) can not only attract deer but create a higher interest for the following hunting season. Build your deer mecca! #nyhunting #hunt #huntny #upstateny #deer #deerhunting #habitat #buildit #design #ny #whitetaildeer #buck #bigbuckdiaries #bugbuck #whitetaillandscapes

First client of the year. Amazing sign and plenty of options for this landowner in NY. It’s an awesome job to help landowners enhance their property for deer. At this point I am almost booked for the year. Couple of interesting points, this forest cutting occurred 7 years ago and the regeneration of young forest and briar patches are almost impenetrable.... what could this landowner done different... answer: a lot!!!!! Also if you are running trail cameras in the northern states be sure to switch cameras to facing south due to snowfall. The @lonewolfcustomgear cameras are pretty interesting by the way! #nyhunting #huntny #design #wildlife #trailcam #rubs #youngforest #deer #habitat #deer #deerhunting #deerhabitat #hunting #whitetaildeer #hunt #hunt #ny #bigbuckdiaries #whitetaillandscapes

The muzzleloader barked today. End of the season deer management. Meeting the quota set before season is a pretty awesome accomplishment. #meat #vension #organicmeat #deer #whitetails #nyhunting #ny #deerseason #whitetaillandscapes
