Great read....thanks for sharing.

Also a great reminder of how we can generate preferred and beneficial food sources for deer by strategic bush hogging...or spraying....or light disking....and prescribed fire....creating early successional growth doesn't have to be expensive.

And with today's lime, fertilizer and seed cost.... these methods are certainly an attractive option.

There it is...
You will see me post from time to time advising to fertilize existing natural browse. This does a good job of explaining the why in detail I seldom am able to convey. Plant what you will but care for native and natural browse
