An Incredible Whitetail Habitat Management Tool: Prescribed Fire (
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 сер 2024
- See how a hunting property with areas overrun by cedars was transformed through habitat improvements and the latest use of prescribed fire! See how we use this important tool to improve wildlife habitat and reduce tick populations. High fuel loads, especially in hardwood timber where leaf litter is built up over years, creates incredible tick habitat. What's not to like about reducing tick populations?

At GrowingDeer.tv we're all about showing hunters what we are doing each week in the field as we work on our Proving Grounds and others to have better deer hunting! If The hunting strategies and techniques we show can be used if you are hunting public or private land. Our farm has wild, free-ranging deer. If we can grow big antlers on these tough Ozark Mountain bucks, you can too! Good wildlife management tactics, deer management, and food plots with regenerative ag techniques that build better soils! Watch our weekly episodes to see what we're doing, the advice that Dr. Grant Woods (Ph.D Wildlife Biologist) has to share along the way.

@@GrowingDeerTV Thanks for all the great habitat improvement videos Grant
Incredible and incredibly FUN.
Tommy - Yes it is!
I’m going to be doing a little prescribed fire to make me a nice area for turkey hunting and hopefully draw them in close!
Aaron - Be safe and enjoy! - grant
If this coronavirus persists into tick season, we will have corona with lyme.
Both are serious - I hope both go away!
That was a great video!
Thanks!
In keeping with the theme of the last two weeks episodes of TSI and prescribed fire; how would you advise a prescribed fire management plan on a two-three year post high grade TSI? Specifically, would you divide it into checkerboard blocks or pie slices (depending on topography/fuel levels) and burn every other unit switching from growing and dormant season burns on a one to two bases?
Clayton - Warm season burns can harm hardwoods trees. If you are not worried about losing some trees to fire- caused death, a warm season burn will work great! - grant
love the vids keep up the good work
Thanks! We appreciate the encouragement!
So, for tick control. It might be an alright idea to send the chickens in once the ground cools down enough for them?
Chickens are always good tick control! Especially Guineas!
What is a good deer rifle for a kid around the age 10-13??
DeerHunters My kids started on a .243 and still use them to this day. .243 is a great whitetail caliber with little recoil and noise.

JimmyDickens1 thanks good to know

6.5

Brandon - is it illegal to use prescribed fire in Minnesota? - grant
GrowingDeer.tv What happened was the DNR thought it would get out of hand and decided to show up with a helicopter and a bulldozer and a dozen fire fighters all on private land to put it out. The fire was about 2 acres at maximum
Or you could rotate pigs for profitable results.
Where there are good fences, that works - with very close management.
I second the GOOD FENCING. If you use a temporary electric fence such as premier1, you ABSOLUTELY HAVE to put the fear of God into those pigs when it comes to that electricity. And NEVER let the electric zap ever get tame. Those pigs WILL learn they can get out.
That poor fawn. Geez it would probably be better to put her out of her misery . Found ur channel watched almost every episode thanx alot
God Bless
Thanks for the blessing!
