Good video Skip, I like the deer bedded part, he looked scared (must have got pushed) by slug hunters (LOL)
My advice.....call your local state forester before you cut anything.
Cluster trees look like big basswood trees. OK to cut if competing with better stuff. Your white oak ridges look AWESOME! Some stuff to cut but not a ton. Looks like some black oaks on the left.... and then cut the dead and extremely crooked stuff I see. Hard to tell the rest.
Call your local forester... its FREE!!
yes they will walk the property with you and help develop a timber management plan based on your individuals goals. They will help you identify species and give advice. They may mark some (or you mark) trees for future reference if you ask, but don't count on them marking all trees.Will definitely give them a call! Do they come out and walk the property with you and help mark trees or what do they do?
Wondering how you are taking care of your Hackberry, double girdle, dropping them, herbicides, hinging?Did a bunch of weed tree removal again today. Our timbers are bur oak and a few have some walnuts. That’s it for “good” hardwoods. Tons of hackberry, elm, ash, and mulberry overtake the understory in a heartbeat of allowed. This timber we did our first TSI project in about 10yrs ago. We thinned oaks and opened the canopy. It needed touched up again bad!
Before
And after
I did some heavy edge feathering along this timber two or three years ago. Deer love it!
