This is a small 40 acre mostly hardwood parcel that’s pretty open. Thinking I’ll try some hinge cutting around the property line this winter. Does feed through here often, but bucks not so much other than during the rut. My goal is thicker “safer” habitat all year long.I like to hinge cut also even my shooting lanes where I can. Looks really good
Just watched a video on YouTube about a 60 year study on control burning. Pretty good watch for those that are interested. Can’t remember the name of the video but I’m sure it can easily be found.
That's very interesting. Two years ago I cut down a black gum on my property right in front of the house. The stump sprouted just like what was described in the video and the deer just hammered it. The one thing I've noticed is they are not on it as hard this year. I just wonder if the minerals "level out" over time?
I’d think the more a stump is cut or eaten back the less minerals and nutrients it would have over time.That's very interesting.
