[QUOTE="DoubleRidge, post: 5528370, member: 20594"] As for forage (and cover generation) I recently listened to an older MSU Deer University podcast and I had to listen to the following comments twice to make sure I heard it correctly: when measuring pounds of forage per acre they found that in a beutiful closed canopy forest that the forage generated averaged only 100lb per acre....running fire alone through the closed canopy forest increased forage to around 200lb per acre....Now opening the forest canopy by 50% by harvesting timber or by hack-n-squirt...the generation of forage was increased to 400lb per acre....then running fire through the 50% opened canopy and the study found they could generate up to 1,000lb of forage per acre.....so again, sunlight to the forest floor is key....we must have sunlight to grow forage and cover.
