[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5764933, member: 17"] A time and place for everything. In summer, I would rather have 10 acres of clear-cut than 10 acres of food plots. However, in winter, I would gladly trade 100 acres of clear-cuts for 10 acres of food plots. And that's why managers should shoot for "some of everything." I will gladly sing the praises of cut or thinned timber. WITHOUT QUESTION it is the most powerful management tool available in a hardwood environment. The native foods and thick escape cover timber cuts provide are invaluable all year around. However, in winter, deer can be greatly benefitted by the plants that can be grown in food plots. These plants vastly outperform the native vegetation in winter. So give me a little of everything. Cut some timber (more than you think you need cut). Then give me some food plots as well for winter food. [/QUOTE]
