Even though I live in Australia and haven't seen any deer, I love this channel. Always appreciate the spiritual thoughts at the end.
Amen. Can’t wait to get started into burn season. 15 acres Crp and around 20 acres of woodlands.
Great info on a great tool! Good preparation before lighting makes all the difference on the day of the burn.
This year may not be the best year for newbies to tackle a burn in Missouri. The low fuel moistures in the larger fuels (at least in central Missouri) are making conditions a little unusual. Larger limbs & logs that normally wouldn’t be consumed are readily burning this year. It would be a shame for someone to get turned off from such a great tool due to an unusual or tricky year.
Getting ready to burn a 4 acre field that the previous owner allowed to be taken over by brush and weeds. During my 24 years in the military 10 of those years were in Kansas. I used to plan all my Turkey hunts based on the prescribed burn areas on Fort Riley. Hopefully the Turkey we have in the area will respond in a similar fashion. God Bless you guys.
Great summary.
Thank you
Well done
Great video 👍👍
Got to be part of a burn crew when our state Fish and Wildlife folks came out several years ago to burn off some of our federal land fields. In a few months, those fields where lush and green with new growth. Some of them had non-native, farm pasture type grasses from back when they where farmed that was thick and hard for small animals to move thru. Burning allowed more natural plants to replace them for better wildlife habitat.
Excellent experience and observations!
Amazes me how good y’all get hardwood leaves to burn. I don’t get a good leaf burn unless humidity is less than 25%. And the wind NEVER blows from a consistent direction.
Tommy - sounds like you are burning in a closed canopy forest.
@@GrowingDeerTV yes and no. Twenty year old, natural regen clearcut. Steve is coming Feb 7.
Thanks for the video. Can you still get a good hardwood regeneration without a burn after fsi ? Thank you
Yes - in most situations.
Hey Mr Grant love the show! I’m starting a new food plot this spring and watching the videos it looks like I need cereal rye to drill into to have a good thatch for the summer release process. Should I frost seed cereal rye? Or should I wait for after the last frost of spring to plant?
Matt - Cereal rye that's planted now won't produce a lot of biomass. If the field is weed free, planting a good quality blend once the soil temperature is 60 degrees at 9am at 2" deep and there's rain in the forecast should result in a good crop!
Will do. Thank you sir!
I was wondering if right now would still be a good time to use hack and squirt? I have heard it should not be done late winter/spring due to sap flowing in the tree. I am in central Virginia and trying to fix some cutovers which have turned into nothing but tulip poplar and sweet gum with no undergrowth. Thanks
Girdle and spray works best now. Hack and squirt works best from when the leaves are fully formed till the first ones start changing color.
What do you suggest to do if prescribed fire is not a tool that can be used do to state regulations?
Mechanical reduction or herbicide
Move.
I assume you are in a northeastern state? What to do depends on the management objectives.
Will burning get rid of European honeysuckle.?
Jeff - Probably not - at least the initial burn likely won't control all of it.
@@GrowingDeerTV That's what I thought. Thanks for the reply.
