A lot of great habitat work comes through trial and error. I’ve learned a ton since the first day I fired up the chainsaw and decided to start transforming the habitat on our farm. Much of what I’ve learned came from me making mistakes. Here are 5 common bedding area mistakes that I’ve seen on the properties I’ve walked and ones I’ve made myself.

The dead end you showed a deer would go through that in 2 seconds easily I’ve jumped deer in impenetrable briar’s and bushes I would need hedge trimmers to walk through they make it look like a walk in the park just my opinion not bashing your opinion
Any success hinging aspen. Mine fail.
I’m loving the videos but I do have a couple questions, when should I cut the trees and hinge cut and area? And if I have a food plot should I strategically place the bedding to where I can hunt in between the bedding and the plot?
Do you ever clear an old bedding areas after the hing cut trees die off?
I disagree about dead ends, many people claim big bucks like something behind them so the don’t get snuck up on by a potential predator. As long as it’s not too small or tight, they use it.
