How To Create A Buck Vacuum On Your Small Parcel

There are several whitetail habitat, herd and hunting steps that you can practice to attract and hold more bucks on your land this Fall. You can create a vacuum on your small parcel that sucks bucks into your land at just the right time of the year to create a quality herd and hunt. If your land can only be hunted during the rut for the oldest bucks in the neighborhood, then drastic changes need to be made. The steps discussed for creating a buck vacuum in this video, will help you attract bucks, hold bucks, protect bucks and then hunt those same bucks if desired. Whether you call it a buck magnet, a buck vacuum or just simply a set of practices for creating the conditions to hold more bucks on your land, here is how it is done...

I am absolutly amazed by your videos ! Here is why : I'm hunting since 1994 in Germany. Mostly roe deer, wild boar and red deer. Your findinds on whitetail habitat, hunting strategies, population management etc. can be easily transefered to our roe deer
Capreolus capreolus and Odocoileus virginianus are basically cousins within the Capreolinae family. I am following your channel recently and its so interesting to confirm your concepts and tipps. Although hunting another deer species on another continent with a different habitat i can absoluty confirm almost everthing you are saying in your videos. When it comes to movement peaks of bucks, food preferences (clover and alfalfa) importance of water in dry areas, salt or mineral licks and so on - you are on spot with your tipps as they work the same way on roe deer. The only one difference is the rut and even there are some similarities.

I have my own 520acres of hunting ground 4 Kilometers away from my house. In the last couple of years i saw less bucks, less quality bucks and they became more noctural. First i thought it was because of me and my brothers hunting pressure. Or the rising numbers of hikers and mountain bikers in the woods. But a professional hunter then told me to take a closer look at the doe population. This winter i am supposed to take out as many old does as possible. From what i have told him the amount of old and overaged does is too high. An indicator for too many and too old does is that they only have 1 fawn instead of 2 while there are plenty does visible at daylight. And their avarage weight has dropped over the past years. The strategy is now to convert the doe population to less old does and to less but younger and healthier dows in the age class of 3-4 years. Those dows will lead to better bucks.

Thank you for your videos. You are are profund hunter and deer expert. I am really enjoying your videos. Waidmannsheil

This makes perfect sense and I would have never even considered this. I have a 40 acre farm and I provide food for deer year round. I'm covered up in does and fawns. The last two years I wasn't feeding as much and I had nice bucks on my property from July on through the rut. This year, I've yet to capture one single decent buck on camera. Just a couple young ones. It's too late for this season so I'll hunt it the best I can, but for next year I'll try to deter the does and fawns. Thanks for the info. Very helpful.

Thanks for the video
Me and my brother just bought a 50 acre land and this was helpful

[pittsburghatecore]

Great commonsense video. I wish I could get my neighbors to get on board with this. You literally described one of them, “ the guy who wants to keep the doe, because of the rut”.

[dalegarrett]

HOW does one create this? Do doe and buck prefer different foods? Details on implementing...

[randlerichardson]

I still can’t get over that little buck with the spots and horn in velvet. I’ve never seen that in 35 years of hunting.

[rfb]

Jeff,
Great comments. As you know we have been planting too early and feeding a lot of does. We are changing our planting times as you suggested, thanks for all your help.
Looking forward to your planting instructions.
Bob

[randlerichardson]

Yeah your tips are goin to help me this time. Thank you brother for sharing. I’m goin to get your book ASAP. Great information thank you again for sharing. Prayers for you and your family GOD BLESS Amen.

[dustyk]

Extremely helpful, just bought 20 acres and will be looking to put your hard earn tatics to use.

[jimbob]

dig your videos, only have 3 acres to hunt, I only get to harvest what walks through my timber. Keep it real, remember does fill the freezer also.

[countrybrothersoutdoors]

Purchased 42 acres last summer... its clear cut and I only access 10 acres and have left the other alone besides trapping and putting out 25 chestnut and sawtooth trees. lots of pressure around the property and at the end of hunting season had many different bucks on camera. My 10 year old harvested 1 mature 8 point. I have 4 acres of Clover Planted and will be adding a 250 gallon water tank this weekend. I have hunted for 40 years and killed bucks in the 170" range but my first piece of property that I have ever owned... Hoping to make a honey hole for my 2 boys. Thanks for the great videos... FYI property In North, MS.

[houndsmanone]

Thanks for this info. My land has an over abundance of does that stay throughout the hunting seaon. I've even seen the does chasing away several young bucks just like a dog chasing a cat. Your video really makes sense. Thanks. Have a fine Labor Day.

[adamsumner]

Is there any way you could do an episode dedicated directly to say deer hunting South GA? Thanks!

[kevingriggs]

Started hunting area with some friends last year. 1st comment to me was" kill does. We need to kill 20." They know the need due to studies but these hard heads won't kill them. I managed to take 2 does in 5 trips out. Seen more deer in 5 days of hunting than in my whole life. As far as I know the other guys hunting didn't take a one. My guess this year is we need to take 30 to make up for all the breading. Awesome hunting.

Applied YOUR Buck Vine scrape yesterday & already had a new buck hit it at 1:30a !!! Thx 4 all u do.. appreciate y’all!

[d-mx]

your videos always open my eyes to things that i would not have previously considered . thx so much, you are a wealth of information.

[DrJimBioactive]

I cannot think of better advice for the small property owner than this. I have practiced this approach for years and have documented double the buck sightings per hour of sitting in December as I see October. The buck population in the area keeps falling and falling de to harvest but buck sightings on my property go up and up.

Awesome channel, . Great videos and info. Thank you
