I wonder, are these the same cedar trees we have here in south west Kansas?

1. Find land. 2. Be rich. 3. Be prepared to be a renter to the state forever with an almost 2% property tax.

You forgot a very important fact. Cedars are dominant pollinators. They put out so much pollen that they overwhelm other trees and prevent them from seeding. After a generation, all the trees in an area are replaced with cedars. This is why A&M recommends all orchards remove any cedars.

I've read that the Indians, or native Americans, would intentionally burn the prairies. In the past the U.S. government paid ranchers to clear cedar from their property. In more recent years the U.S. government tried to designate most of the Texas Hill Country as habitat for the Golden Cheeked Warbler and Black Capped Vireo to prevent landowners from clearing cedar. Such radical inconsistencies demonstrate why our Founders thought it best to limit the powers of the central government.

The goats introduced by settlers stripped the native grassland down to rock. Perfect for cedar

In wood county, my property and surrounding area was cattle till the late 70s. The whole are was let go. Currently covered in cider dotted with huge oaks. Im slowing getting my 20acres to a healthy balance. Mainly eliminating most of the cedars

Do bow hunt. Silent and deadly. And no ATF. Just saying.

Talk to you local game warden. Ciy hall and county courthouse. I did and i hunt and fill all tags every year in south texas out of city limits on a 2 acre tract. Theres a huge pile of dirt maybe 10 ft tall 35 ft wide on back corner towards a non used 3000 acre ranch. I put corn at base of the pile of dirt in the middle of pile and neck shoot at 35 yds never miss never had a deer run never had a slug stray. Its shot placement and direction you shoot that makes it safe ck with local law enforcement before you take a chance. Im lucky. My county has no land size minimum or distance from a dwelling most ppl where i live depend on wild game to survive. Everyone respects each other persons property boundries

How much is an acre of land in Texas ? Out in the country away from town limits .

Let lightning and tall grasses do their thing Stand back

*Cedar trees are okay, but they don't compare to the live oak.*🌳

Don’t forget those salt blocks for your cows . And a clean water source. A stock tank !

Where I live there is no minimum. There’s a guy with feeder and a tree stand set up on 1/4 acre right behind me. It’s not that hard to shoot a rifle at a steep angle straight into the ground.

Its over for grasslandcles.

What kinda person dosen't like cedar trees. Weirdo's

Okay land nerd, if ya don’t need a license to kill feral hogs in Texas and there’s no season for killing hogs in Texas, then is there any “law” on acreage for killing these unwelcome invaders or trespassing deer on my land and if the state of Texas owns all the deer then why don’t they keep them off my land because I don’t want them on my land as well as the invading hogs

Yep yaw can keep the cedar infested hill country, I prefer the Beautiful East Texas and its Piney woods

I wish you went more in to the myth that cedars “drink” water

IN MY AREA OF NE KANSAS THE CEDARS, OSAGE ORANGE, (HEDGE) ,AND THE WALNUT TREE GROWTH HAS BEEN EXTENSIVE!! WITH THE LABOR OF THE SMALL FARMER FAMILIES GONE, AND WITH HEATING BEING DONE BY GAS AND ELECTRICITY NOWADAYS , A LOT LESS NATIVE FIREWOOD IS HARVESTED!!

Redberry will definitely grow from a stump. Blue not so much.

Im in Hopkins next to Hunt . I hope none of those deer are in my woods

I have the good Cedar . Virginia Red Cedar . Sulphur Springs Area. Nice wood smells great , Many use it for interior walls ,

I bought a deer from this shady dude and hunted it. I have a quarter of an acre, everyone can do it.

Hays county sheriffs office says no minimum to discharge as of 2 months ago

This guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

CEDAR CHOPPERS.

In actuality MOST Counties in Texas have passed some ordinance reflecting safe shooting practices but have no regulation on minimum acreage required. Common sense tells you that even if you have 100 acres next to a school you probably should avoid using a deer rifle there.

I think most Texas Game Wardens just want you to be safe with firearms . I have 10 acres and I also have a large backstop made from skitter tires stacked up . Two Game Wardens came to my house looking for my closest neighbor 1/2 mile from me . She called them because someone was shooting across her land . The one Game Warden looked at my shooting backstop and said "I wish other people would make those." I shoot a lot and am as safe as possible and they know it , so the Wardens and I are good .

3:20 Birds sit on the fence and drop seeds. Is that why there are so many trees under electricity wires? I thought people just planted these huge trees under those wires. Now, I can blame the birds.

I'm still waiting for Texas to pass laws for open season for democrats.

Seems like if you just hunt from a tree stand, tripod or other elevated position shooting at a downward angle it takes all the steam out of the argument.

Nice job! You nailed it. There were several studies going on at Freeman Ranch in San Marcos when I did my PhD fieldwork there. Exactly what I heard from those folks.

Careful there! You failed to mention that 1-d-1 are subject to rollback taxes if the usage changes. A rollback tax occurs when a land owner switches the land’s use to non-agricultural. These rollback taxes under 1-d-1 are based on the five tax years preceding the year of change. So, this video is correct in that you can save a lot of tax dollars by using the 1-d-1 "ag exemption". BUT if circumstances change you could be on the hook for a bundle. So like the video says be sure to know where you are before you jump in!

great video

I can tell you one thing, you need to either move your camera up with your hands aren't visible or you need to hold on to your chair with your hands because they are nothing but a major distraction.

Most things are 10 acres. It's a weird law But technically you have to have 10 acres to live on, in any county connected to the Rio Grande. This came in effect during Clinton. He put it into law. And I said Rip Grande. That for Texas. All other states it if the county boarders Mexico. Why he did this is unknown. I have my guesses with the Clinton's and thier connections to the Cartels. But who knows. Also it's not legal to sell land in those counties under 10 acres. Which you may ask about land that was smaller then prior. Or town /city lots. Best to just ask the county you are looking at. There is a different between what is law, and what the county will enforce. Add to this, you need to look at covents the land has. Some land says you can hunt a whole area. Others say no hunting. A Covent is like laws you agree to when you by land. Watch it because covents can say anything. It's possible you buy 100 acres and covents says you are not allowed to live on it. Or someone else has rights to use your land . It's kinda like a HOA. Except covents are much older.

You have to have written permission from the land owner on your person. Min 10 acre

Heh! You said "break that wind!"

It's not cedar, it's cypress. Fire suppression causes overgrowth.

I beg to differ. Is required in the state of Texas that you have min 5 acres to hunt with stringed weapons. 25 acers to hunt with pistol or shotgun. 100 acres to hunt with a rifle.

You can discharge shotguns on 10+ acres and pistols, revolvers, and long guns on 50+ acres (subject to the same property line & public road restrictions already mentioned many times). I have 12 acres with 1.5 acres of ponds and I can hunt ducks with a shotgun on my property. So bow hunting isn't the only option on 10+ acre lots.

10 Acres. Has something changed?

Eastern red Ceder is an indicator of limestone

They aren't really cedars aren't they junipers technically?

Juniper is the single biggest allergen producer in Texas, causing millions of dollars of losses because of illness and lost production from "cedar fever." It's the reason why, if you move to Central or North Texas free of allergies, you will develop them within two or three years. At the first freeze, cedar will pollinate and continue to do so for two months or more, giving the period roughly from Thanksgiving to after New Year's the name "cedar-fever season." I remember one winter in Austin when the cedar-pollen count went from 800 particles per cubic meter to over 14,000 within one 24-hour period.

Almost all barley legal hunting acreages are unethical as they cannot sustain a population . The neighbors land can only so many as well. How do you contain your bullets. How close do you put your feeder to the larger neighbors fence line? Can he touch it if he stretches his arm across ? Where do you dump carcasses.?I have had to deal with all of these issues and more.

If it was really quick, it'd be the time it took to say the number and that's it.

I'm pretty sure it's 11 acres. I have hunted on small properties with a bow and unless you get a very good shot and the animal dies quickly that's not enough. Rifle hunting would be easier, but if your neighbors are close it's probably too dangerous for them.

Yes, and if you’re killing feral hogs, they’ll send you a check …
