Please take that disrespectful cap off.

This is very true 😢 I’m trying to remove a ground cover disaster that the prior owners of my house planted and it has taken OVER!!!! I can’t kill it. I used vinegar 30% and it worked for a year then this year it reappeared even bigger 😂

Why not just use the bush for tea and just trim them? Also see tons of stilt grass?

What is the best herbicides to use?

No Herbicides! You're on - Don't recommend channel.

By definition of the term, a native cannot be invasive. It's important not to abuse the language because doing so eliminates the meaning of words. This is a bad message sent badly.

Teaching from your own mistakes. Mad respect

Goldenrods are the king of caterpillar species in many different areas. In Northern Illinois, Goldenrod supports 112 different types of caterpillar species ☺️ Excellent native keystone that is definitely worth planting!

But you are also non-native in that land...

I have lots of grouse in my land. I accidentally discovered it while deer hunting last year. I had the curiosity to shoot one & cooked it. It was so delicious. Just like chicken. As I write, I hear them drumming around my cabin. I’m located 3 miles north of the Minnesota border. I came across your video presentation & needs to know more about how to keep them on my land. Any such presentation would be deeply appreciated. Thank you so much!

Native Shrubs. The Rodney Dangerfield of habitat elements-they just can’t get any respect. Yet, they ask for very little-just sunlight, and yet, yield so much-food, cover, flowers, and beauty. I TSI for shrubs!

But 100% agree with your message. Save the bluebirds

The box is too low and it’s not protected by a baffle. Raccoon buffet

It's the Predators!

When I was growing up, we had all kinds of grouse around home the turkey population has taken over and killed most of the grouse babies before they even get a chance to live the state of Virginia should’ve stepped in, but now we have no grouse at all shame on you state of Virginia shame on you Greed of money for your turkey license has killed the grouse population.

beutiful

The Paulonia actually is native to North America. The last of them died out and then the tree was reintroduced. If they try to grow in a forest with very tall trees, they will die out from light starvation. It is like almost all invasive species, they have quite useful properties, but need maintained.

I have heavily wooded steep acreage in WNC and want to manage it for wildlife diversity. If I thin the canopy and create openings how are invasive species controlled like privet and multiflora rose?

Good ideas, except spraying chemicals to poison vegetation and harm wildlife and humans is not good. Think cancer. Manage your woods naturally.

You guys rock, seriously! There is hope in the 21st century.

No buckthorn there?

You did an awesome job making this. So many aspects I feel the same way. The process and feel of the shot, walking slowly and enjoying the woods, and especially taking a doe. I respect the animals and it’s getting harder to harvest them but I do it. I really don’t understand why this hasn’t got more views but I guess that has to do with TH-cam itself and what people are looking for. Please keep producing your video ideas they are great productions. Thank you!

Too many feel goods in this video.

Disagree with having an equal distribution of species in a forest stand. Species composition should directly reflect the landowners objective. I refuse to retain hard maple when managing for deer... 🤷‍♂️

You have touched on an important issue.i will renew my animal control license.and go through some of the farmers losing crops land get permissions.i am 73 and retired from trapping .But I am in a restart mode.

cut the dam background music!!!!!!

🤘🏿🫡😍

I was intrigued ever since I flushed my first Ruffed Grouse at 12 years old while rabbit hunting with my beagle and Dad. I believe they need to totally close the season for at least a couple years and as far as in Pa. Quit introducing more predators.

Definitely stealing lots of ideas! I'm not a hunter, but connect with your love of wildlife and ecosystem regeneration.

What's scary about looking at surrounding properties in assessing your own property is the unknown about who will sell the surrounding properties to home developers who will clear cut everything.

Great job.

Growing miscanthus is a good idea. We share our experience on the channel, subscribe ;)

This looks EXACTLY like my property in SC and I am having to do the same thing soon. Curious to see the results. How well will the native stuff respond with the canopy opened up but years of pine litter on forest floor? I don't have option of burning, will the sunlight still get good growth on forest floor??

How do you safely get the line attached to the top first? Wrap a rope around the tree? And then use the safety line as your primary after? I'm looking for an up and down / arrive and leave video.

Great short film. True art with a great message.

Is there not a particular direction the log needs to run? ie: north south. I think I read that in a bird field Guide decades ago.

Really good info here sir. Thank you!

I'm majoring in forestry with a concentration in wildlife management. My question is, are all wildlife managers law enforcement officers? Also, are there multiple career paths for someone majoring in wildlife management other than law enforcement? Thank you!

We are talking about small clearcuts in this video, not 3 square kilometre clear cuts every 4 kilometres away from each other, causing floods along with death of wildlife

Yes Sir 🙏🏼🫡 Plant Native! 🌱💚🪶

Do you need to fill in water or rain does all the job?

Interesting. I just attended a workshop on making biochar and using adding it to various ferments to make it an amendment to fertilize crops. The person giving the workshop was talking about how this particular tree is being grown in California to make into biochar. It seems it has some special genetics that make it ideal for that purpose. Just goes to show you that invasive is somewhat subjective and depends on what you can do and want to do with it.

Well said. It is our responsibility!

Thank you for stepping up and showing what needs done. Erich and Cody are great at what they do! Keep up the great work!

Keep spreading the message guys. Thank you!!

Keep the message going guys!😊

Thank you for all the work you do for the king!!

Are you going to be selling those shirts?

I used to go grouse hunting all the time. I don't try now because I never see them anymore. I guess I was part of the problem. 😢

I cut Red Maple on my property every winter. They create good winter browse and can be cut up for campfire wood.
