Summary
Habitat Podcast #374 - In today’s episode of The Habitat Podcast, we are back in the studio with co-host Andy and Sam Tumberg of Purpose Filled Habitat Management! We discuss: Most hinge cuts fail because they aren’t aggressive enough Flush cutting is often more reliable than hinge cutting in northern timber Mature bucks are nomadic — focus on security cover, not “buck beds” Half-acre bedding cuts are a strong starting point for most properties Downed large-diameter trees create high-value structure Layer hinge heights to control sightlines and security Ash trees can barber-chair — extreme caution required Water sources inside staging areas can dramatically increase daylight activity Cutting junk oaks increases acorn production from healthy oaks Always bring two chainsaws And So Much More!
