    Default Clear Cuts

    We lease land from a timber company and just got word they would be doing a 110 acre clear cut starting this week. While that sucks I am trying to think of the positives that can come out of this. What are the rules on hand sewing wheat and dove hunting it now? I know the rules have recently changed if I remember correctly.

    You can't. I don't know dates right off, but I think you have to wait until october.

    October 14 or 15 I think is considering the start of normal wheat planting season.
    Also throwing it out in a clear cut probably isn’t going to be considered a normal agricultural practice, has to be thrown out a prepared seed bed, iirc.

    October 1-November 1 you can sow oats/wheat/rye something that would be a normal cover crop
    Yup, he's crazy...


    like a fox. The dude may be coming in a little too hard and crazy but 90% of everything he says is correct.

    Sort of like Toof. But way smarter.

    Throw Browntop to control soil erosion. Isn't that a standard operating procedure for road edges, hard decks to control soil erosion?
    Listen to your elders. Not because they are always right but because they have more experiences of being wrong.

    oct 1 and it has to be on clean dirt

    there's not a great, legal way to turn a clearcut into a place to shoot doves. My glorious opinion is to let mother nature handle it and see if it holds doves.

    I wouldnt hold my breath.
    Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.

    Standard procedure or not. If you throw it out in a clear cut, road edge, hard deck, etc, and plan to hunt over it I would think that would fall right under baiting.

    As for the deer hunting, I wouldn't hesitate to be in the tree as soon as they shut the equipment off.

    This year will be good as far as the deers go , but years 2-3 after the cut is prime.

    I used to really love hunting cutovers covered in wheat.. searching for an occasional bird in a pile and guaranteed poke berry stain, of course behind shooting over baited cotton fields.

    More birds will be in a fresh clear cut than you think. Spread you some corn for the deer and posted it with No Doves Allowed.

    Yes it would. You can ONLY SEW wheat on a properly prepared seed bed.
