Whitetail Strategy // Switchgrass Management // GUNNAR HANSON

Today I talk about my process of establishing and managing my Switchgrass stands.

What time of year do you burn?

[@Gunnar-Hanson]

All relative to the spring timing we have. Once the snow is gone. I like to have most of the ground still wet from the melt and or rain, but I try to find the ideal day for each stand by looking at mild winds, correct wind direction, and cherry on top would be a rain shower not long after to keep things safe. But overall timing changes year to year based on the weather

[@clayschneider3036]

@Gunnar-Hanson so ideally spring with right conditions.

@@clayschneider3036 yep. And by the time I’m burning after the fifth year there is a thick mat that has plenty of fire load to burn it even if it is slightly damp
