For you land owners or hunters who have access to land that you have permission to modify, what are your plans to make next year's season just a little bit better?
And if you don't have any plans, why not?
In some ways I think this should be in a different forum but we'll try it here.
For us the day after the season closed was the start of the next season. We were running the chainsaws Sunday cutting firewood in an understocked, low quality tree area that we have been working the last several years.
While getting next year's wood we have released hawthorn, oak, and cleared an area for natural regen of oak, pine and planted spruce. It also has created a nice transition from the woods to a brushy field. Because most of this trees are being used for firewood this project will take several more years to complete. Seeing the habitat respond has motivated us to continue.
