In our last deer hunting episode, Zach was able harvest a mature buck named Bully on Project 17. Now get a tour of how the farm looks 3 years after the initial habitat project plan was put into place.
It all started as a blank slate production ag piece that Tom designed as a whitetail and wildlife magnet. Hardwood mast producing trees were planted, native warm season grasses were sown, and numerous rotational Pennington food plots were installed in the hopes of improving the farm, the hunting, and the wildlife that call it home. Now here it is three years later and it will only continue to improve from here.

Just curious.. we’re you planting the oaks for food eventually when they finally produce an acorn in 100 years or for cover for the deer? Only reason is why I asked is if it is for cover why not leave a row of sycamore’s or just roll with the sycamores? It’s just hard to put time and money into oaks when you never get to see the fruits of them. Thanks for the update. Love this project

The only reason to plant oaks is because you like oaks, the payout isn't worth it.....

In the original videos of installation and the reasons behind what I chose, I mentioned that the primary reason was that I wanted the brushy field benefit they would provide for years 5-25 or so, with late holding leaves and dense form but that eventually grandkids could realize some return off the timber.

The only thing in deer country that should be planted in rows is corn. In the last 22 years on my 80 acres I planted 30000 thousand trees alll different kinds acceptable for SE Wisconsin. Plant trees in bunches circles or like a drunk guy did it. I like to use the lay of the land also. Low ground tops of hills and water ways. Or along deer trails which is the way they want to travel anyway

Thanks for the great project update. Love the project layout design. I have trees I need to eliminate. What herbicide(s) did you use on the sycamores?
@tomjames4796
@tomjames4796 2 года назад
George, I experimented with a couple options. Basically a gly and brushkiller combination at a 5-6% solution did a great job.

You could of seeded a light sod of a low aggression perennial grass, mowed that for a season, and then, row planted your seedings. Deer will always browse for lignin, a compound found in woody plants needed for digestion in wild ruminates.

Not a fan of this video looks like a lot of the switchgrass was already laying down and the food plot mixing the brassica with cereal grain is a bad idea not a fan of planting oaks in rows either

Most foresters put a band of herbicides (3-4' wide) centered on the planted tree row. The herbicides are typically a post-emergent such as glyphosate to kill perennial grasses which are a major competitor to young trees, and a pre-emergent such as simazine, atrazine, oust or a combo to control the sprouting of seeds such as your sycamore and other fast growing competition. Your over the top treatment of the sycamore appears to have worked well and may have the added benefit of protecting the small oaks from browse damage. Thanks for sharing your experiences and lessons learned!

Why would you want to get rid of switch grass? It's great cover and or screening and just about the only grass that won't lay down.

There are a multitude of reasons for using tree tubes. A major reason is to design a tree that does not grow limbs low. All that low ectopic limb growth is wasted undesirable growth. You should have spent the same money using fewer trees planted properly with staked tree tubes. Best wishes.

No. Not because it can't plant warm season grasses, it definitely can. Tom was trying to avoid as much soil disturbance as possible to limit germination of competitive weeds. You can see the full explanation here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nx-joSrILgg.html
