All great points! Your team has taught me a lot and I want to thank you for all of your knowledge and evidence you have shared with us. I know it’s helped our area (105 acres with national forest on 3 sides) I’m sure everyone who hunts public near me would be thankful if they knew lol😂
Those last words. More impactful than the entire video.
I love your content. Would love to see a video on habitat improvement for ruffed grouse :)
I am looking to buy land in the next 5 years , and I love learning about this stuff.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and keep your videos coming please.
Great stuff. Thanks. God bless
Great info. Thanks for sharing.
Love this so much, thank you!
Such good info! God Bless!
A other wonderful video. Excellent information as expected
Enjoy your vids. I have one of those places that was clearcut 4yrs ago. Got too much growing now. Going to follow your advice that you gave to someone else: pine savanna. I'm slowly opening it up so deer can walk on the property. Really would like the turkeys to showup. Thanks again!
106 acres/northeast Texas.
Good info Grant 👍👍
Im suprised at how similar these techniques are to managing habitat for bees
Caught 27 predators on less than 100 acres in 3 weeks. Still have traps out.
Great work!
We are working with MDC to remove ceders in Doe Run Mo ..... is that near the Proving Grounds?
Mark - The Proving Grounds 2 is near Branson!
Hello Grant, I'm cutting a large number of cedars off of glades on my property right now. Just curious if I need to worry about all that heavy fuel burning too hot and destroying the seed bank? Should I be worried about sterilzing areas of the ground? Anything I can do to prevent that besides maybe burning under less aggressive conditions?
Sounds like you are doing great habitat work! I recommend that the first fire is a backing (downhill/into the wind) fire. However, even where brush piles are burned, ragweed, etc., returns soon. Backing fires under conditions were the fire barely carries is the best plan.
What is the ideal balance for predators to prey? Is there a ratio, and how do you figure it out if there is?
Dakota - it's when both populations thrive - so the amount of quality cover is a factor in that balance also.
What do you do when money doesn’t allow controlled burns? I have a huge stand of cedar in what used to be a field. We’ve watched our deer and turkey dwindle.
Deborah - The NRCS (National Resource Conservation Service) often provides cost-share funding for landowners that wish to restore native habitat where eastern red cedars have invaded. I suggest you contact NRCS office closes to you.
