- See the benefits of doing a prescribed fire during growing season! Grant explains how It will add tons of quality forage, attract deer, reduce tick populations, make it easier to pattern deer, as well as provide a great spring strutting area for toms and great nesting habitat for hens!

ABOUT US
GrowingDeer.tv was created by Dr. Grant Woods as a means to share his love for managing and growing white-tailed deer. Grant’s passions in life are God, family and hunting. Grant has been hunting since the third grade and has degrees from Southwest Missouri State University, University of Georgia, and Clemson University. His goal is to provide current, useful information about deer hunting and deer management in an on-demand video format.
Our episodes show what we are doing in the field, our hunting and management activities, week to week. A new episode is released each Monday, 52 weeks a year with no repeats. We occasionally share special mid-week episodes on Thursday or Friday if we’ve had an action packed week of hunts or habitat management projects. All our episodes are available for viewing anytime at GrowingDeer.tv. GrowingDeer.tv episodes will include action packed hunts, proven hunting strategies, food plot and trail camera techniques, practical advice for common problems and the gear it takes to get it all done.
Another fantastic vid full of WHY. HOW is fun, but the WHY'S are where the real knowledge is. Thanks, Dr Grant.
Welcome!
I had never considered the timing of the terminations or burns before. This makes so much sense as to why you should change this up.
Thanks for watching!
Why in the world would anyone give u a 👎?? Thanks again Mr. Woods for every nugget of info you give in these videos.
If a person pays attention and applies just some of your practices they'll see a beneficial difference in the way they hunt.
Thanks Doug!
Easily one of the top 5 educational videos you guys have produced!!! If not the number 1
Thanks Donald!
One of the Best videos you've done.
Another very informative presentation! Great video! The visual inserts are excellent!
Thanks!
Hey Mr. Grant, i’m late but here!
Thanks Jeff!
First and foremost I want to thank you Grant for taking a stand for your Christian beliefs. I also want to thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience freely. With that being said, I do have a question. If you have a growing season fire and it kills the hardwood saplings, what will the deer have to eat over the winter? The Forbes will be gone and browse of the young hardwood saplings will also be non existent after the fire. I am not questioning your expertise by any means, just looking for some clarity on this.
Thanks for your kind and encouraging words! I don't recommend burning entire properties and deer in Kansas, the Dakotas, etc., survive brutal winters without any saplings. It's the quantity of quality food during the growing season that primarily carries deer. Saplings - woody tissue - are very low quality food and may keep a deer from starving, but certainly don't help them thrive. Deer are genetically programmed to consume great quality food during the growing season and store fat to survive the winter. Saplings provide very low quality food during the growing season and prevent high quality food from growing. The North Dakota deer provide us a great lesson!
@@GrowingDeerTV Thank you for your reply. You have once again enlightened me on the facts of deer biology. I look forward to learning more from you and your videos which I greatly enjoy watching. I’m glad we share the same creator as well!
I have 3 interns, my 3 boys lol
My dad never put it that way (we didn't hunt together but worked a lot together he owned a construction business).. but I truly appreciate all the time we shared and how he taught me to think for my self and figure out problems by my self. Priceless skills no matter what your kids end up doing. 👍
I was the only son of a farmer that was a workaholic. My name could have been Manual Labor! However, that training prepared me for life! I expect a lot from my interns and most get a good job!
It's all part of the fun of enjoying what the Creator has provided for us.
Yes!
I need some interns to help lol. Great video
Now we know why families where much larger in the past lol
And interns need real world field experience!
So much information 🤯
I hope it was helpful!
Thanks Dr. Woods! Excellent info / video.
Welcome!
Excellent video and information ..Thanks Grant
Thanks Eric!
Wow awesome video, this is one of the reasons I think about leaving Oregon for Missouri or Kentucky the amount of rain is so much better. The elk, salmon and mule deer keep me here lol!
Elk, Salmon, and mule deer are certainly strong attractions!
I think that KY has the largest population of elk east of the Mississippi with about 20k elk!
I just love how Mr Grant the climate change or global warming or whatever theory to bed.
I've been saying for years.
You live in a dry tinder box area.
You get dry tinderbox results.
Josh - There's no denying that the intensity of many storms has increased and it snows much less where I live now than it did when I was a child. There's also no doubt there's way more carbon in the air. The good news is that simple steps can be used to sequester carbon! Burning is mostly carbon neutral - some goes into the air during the fire and the new vegetation takes a LOT out of the air!
Thx for uploading, i simply like your e ntertaining, simply love it.......😉🇺🇸😄🇺🇲Keep up the good work, i am with U, THX!!
Thank you, I will
Great episode.
Thanks!
Does a growing season fire kill more ticks then a dormant season? Also if burning in the timber do you only want to do dormant season so the energy is still in the roots?
Ben - there are lots of variables but it's likely that most growing season fires will kill more ticks. Only low intensity, backing fires should be used in mature timber!
great channel!
Thank you!
If I do a perscribed fire during dormant season in an area that Clover was planted and weeds over took the plot the previous season but before the Clover wakes up. Will the Clover come back or will it be burned out?
Ben - there are lots of variables but the clover and weeds may come back. Any seeds in the top of the seed bank will be released by removing the duff and exposing the soil to the sun's energy.
Does the ash from a prescribed fire help to increase the ph?
Some! Wood has has a pH of about 7.0 to 11.0, pending on the type of wood.
Grant I'm trying to eradicate Japanese stilt grass , if this stuff get a hold you really have problems. Thanks for the help.
Stilt grass is a huge issue! I hope you can terminate it and keep it from spreading!
Can a hay field be crimped?
Carl - Probably not. Crimping works best with annual plants that are producing seed which are almost mature - fully formed but not hard yet. Consider that driving over a yard doesn't kill the grass, neither will a crimping a hay field.
I am needing too get more into prescribed fire, but have always been intimidated by the chance of an accident. I have watched your videos that focus more on the process, but still feel like I would need more mentorship/help. Who could I contact for help or at least more local information on this?
Nolan - Many states offer prescribed fire classes. You are wise to get some hands on training before doing a prescribed fire.
I need to burn sections of my property that was clear cut 4 years ago and the sweet gums and trash has taken over.
Arsenal AC the sweetgum
Prescribed fire is a great tool but it's very unlikely that it will control four year old sweet gum saplings. I recommend a treatment with Arsenal AC herbicide followed by fire!

Howdy!
