Habitat Management
So I have a little over 30 acres of standing timber along side around 50 acres of a hay field. I am trying to get gone most of the sweet gum and some ceder that has been left and it is all over the place. The place has lots of persimmon, black cherry, water oaks, some white oaks, locust. My main question is..... What is the best method to go about killing these shade tolerant undesirable trees to allow some sun to hit the ground? I have been told to go in and do some hack and squirt on about 5 to 10 acres at a time and burn the following year.... What has worked for this crowd and has seen some good results.... Thanks ahead of time for the discussion......
“Duck hunting gives a man a chance to see the loneliest places …blinds washed by a rolling surf, blue and gold autumn marshes, …a rice field in the rain, flooded pin-oak forests or any remote river delta. In duck hunting the scene is as important as the shooting.” ~ Erwin Bauer, The Duck Hunter’s Bible, 1965
