Low grading a forest is a rare
Occurance on private land when timber sales occure .Loggers usually take the biggest and best trees because they can make more money for there efforts . Then you are left with junk trees and Loggers will do alot of damage to the under story species in the process of harvesting ....

Considering we used to have 20+ deer per herd and 20+ turkey per flock in the 90s but in 2020 we have 6 and 3.... I think it's safe to say you need to stop burning under brush (Arkansas doesn't burn like Cali), start planting actually food plots then we might see our old numbers again

This is proper management. You can look at growing deer tv where they use a very similar management style and have great success. This is what the science shows to be the best and most effective management. Unless you have a high degree in wildlife management I would suggest listening and learning
