374: Do Mature Bucks Actually Use Hinge Cut Bedding? with Sam Tumberg
Habitat Podcast #374 - In today’s episode of The Habitat Podcast, we are back in the studio with co-host Andy and Sam Tumberg of Purpose Filled Habitat Management! We discuss:
Most hinge cuts fail because they aren’t aggressive enough
Flush cutting is often more reliable than hinge cutting in northern timber
Mature bucks are nomadic — focus on security cover, not “buck beds”
Half-acre bedding cuts are a strong starting point for most properties
Downed large-diameter trees create high-value structure
Layer hinge heights to control sightlines and security
Ash trees can barber-chair — extreme caution required
Water sources inside staging areas can dramatically increase daylight activity
Cutting junk oaks increases acorn production from healthy oaks
Always bring two chainsaws
And So Much More!
