Oak Trees are not Sacred when it comes to Hinge Cutting for Whitetail Habitat

Many people are unwilling to hinge cut oak trees. That may often be a mistake. For optimum mast production, oaks should have some breathing room. A hinge cut oak tree laying on its side may produce valuable browse at a deer’s level 365 days a year rather than just producing acorns seasonally. As with everything, variety is the key to deer habitat.

    Just a reminder, don’t cut oaks from early April to early September. Oak wilt is a huge problem and not cutting during these months is how we can prevent it from spreading.

      Michigan DNR recommends not cutting from April 15 to July 15. Other state recommendations may vary but I follow the guidelines from my state.
