    I like the tidbits on Burnweed. I’ll store that in the memory bank. Thanks Matt.

    Important Question: What are you going to do about the larger stump sprouts in a few years when they are large enough to start shading out the floor again? Same question for the smaller sprouts when they out reach the browse pressure and then just turn into a large umbrella shading the floor? Thanks for the continuous great content!

      If you are managing the site with a relatively frequent fire interval (every 2-3 years) that should set back a lot of the woody re-sprouts from trees that you fell and did not treat with herbicide. If the fire intensity is too low and it doesn't set them back, you can mechanically set them back once they get too large. But frequent fire should do the trick. Hope that helps!

      Do you have to use fire, or can just hinge and flat cut when the trees get to tall?

    Question. What months do you cut down trees to a stump for re-sprouting? For species such as hickory, black cherry, or maples.

    When I do this in PA all I get are ferns. Any suggestions?

    At 0:54 it looks like a 3D archery target got left in the bushes.🧐🦌

    I understand y’all had to do TSI either cutting down the trees or hack and squirt but did that vegetation and cover come up without prescribed fire?

    Should you burn that in a couple of years? How do you maintain it ?

    • @Whitetail_Properties
      @Whitetail_Properties  Рік тому

      Yes, ideally you'll want to burn every 2-4 year depending on the response and what level of succession you want to keep the site in.

    This the property from thp? As a Michigan boy I was shocked had some shoots 12 14 ft tall after 2 yes

    • @Whitetail_Properties
      @Whitetail_Properties  2 роки тому +1

      Nope, this is Matt's home farm in SW Missouri. We do plan on getting back to Aarons family farm for an update and to see the progress soon!
      And yes some species will certainly get that tall after 2 growing seasons, it shows how drastically you can change a timber stand in a short period of time!

    Personally I just don’t like having the falling timber. Brambles for me are not desirable. Don’t care if deer like them. Perhaps TSI modified. lol of course I would enjoy seeing them burn baby burn… with prescribed fire. Being new at all this I keep thinking when trying to improve habitat shouldn’t we also be looking at minimizing future work required to maintain the desired result.. like chop and squirt which lets the tree stand which also opens the canopy but reduces debris on the ground.

    Why would you not have a timber company do the cut and sell the timber instead of just leaving the trees on the ground. Seems like you are losing money.

    • @aotec89
      @aotec89 2 роки тому +5

      Some of the trees are just junk and loggers won’t mess with it. Not profitable timber is pointless for them to cut

    • @Whitetail_Properties
      @Whitetail_Properties  2 роки тому +3

      On this particular site there was a select cut done and some marketable walnuts and oaks removed. The remaining trees were undesirable or not marketable. It ultimately comes down to what your goals are for the timber stand. Are you managing it for the timber value? Or are you managing it for wildlife value? Or in some instances both, but making that decision before you pick up a chain saw is important.

    • @tylercourson785
      @tylercourson785 Рік тому

      Because the trees they'll cut are likely the ones you'd want to save for deer/wildlife. I've even heard of some logging companies coming in and taking whatever they want even if the contract states differently

    • @willieclark2256
      @willieclark2256 Рік тому

      It may seem like it however the loggers and skidders always get paid full price for their work even though the mill may pay less than that for the lumber, so often the landowner is more out of pocket having it logged than just doing it yourself

    • @TomBTerrific
      @TomBTerrific Рік тому

      @@willieclark2256that’s if you contract out the cutting and removal separately right? Typically I would think they bid on the standing timber. One lump sum then go in and remove it and sell to the lumber company without land owner involvement. Isn’t that how it typically works?
