Love your videos guys. This one really caught my eye though. Did you accidentally reveal your “secret” sauce with this one, or did you actually have no idea you were standing in the middle of someone’s wild Sativa patch……… Lol Cheers!

[@Whitetail_Properties]

Lol!!! Thanks for watching!!

[@tjkemp2959]

Am I the only one who noticed him standing the devils lettuce plant right in front of him? 🤔🤫🤭

[@Struttinhoyt88]

I noticed it as well 😂

[@ZZ_Trop]

Cannabis Ruderalis I suspect?

[@Dakukobura]

I think that's his little wink to the audience about what all you can do on your property if you restore it to its natural state

[@Johnsson341]

I have Bur Oaks on my ground too here in NE, how do you select which trees to cut and which one's to leave? By size of trunk? I cut out the cedars down last winter from the hardwood area, which has already let in additional light and I'm planning to burn it all this spring. Great vid and love the pods

[@Whitetail_Properties]

Size, quality, the site and placement/spacing of the trees are all things to consider when selecting which trees to remove. Sounds like you have a good start with removal of the cedars and planning to burn!!

[@paulsell2438]

My only question is does the savannah understory growth (cover) maintain its usefulness to deer during the winter? Would be interested to see a followup during the fall/winter. Love the video and content.

[@Whitetail_Properties]

If the composition of the understory is managed for more shrubby cover then yes! It would depend on the management practices done following the removal of trees from the canopy and mid story. But certainly do-able! Check out the oak savanna part 2 video where we touch on just what you’re asking about!

[@willieclark2256]

My man's growing sativa

[@rumicookingrecipe5107]

👉The place is very beautiful❤️❤️

[@melvinsacromentoe]

Would this be doable to do it chunks like 1-2 acres?

[@Whitetail_Properties]

Yes we think you could replicate this in smaller chunks!

[@dylanthrall5657]

I prefer oaks not a lot but a few big oaks and trash trees to have in a bedding area so I have hard wood regin in their i watch whitetail habitat solutions and you guys to learn

[@Whitetail_Properties]

That's great! It is always good to hear multiple approaches!

[@mechaslugzilla]

Turkeys love hemp seed!

[@geraldmorris8730]

Yeah you have good plant growth alright lol

[@cognacdrinker321]

Blending in nice 😆

[@JayN4GO]

Looks amazing

[@joshuabaughn3734]

What you do during Lockdown? This!

[@jasonsenn1140]

Your land is fine. No need to burn if you don't want to. Natural is always better than intervention.

[@Whitetail_Properties]

Prescribed fire helps control non-native invasive species and helps promote the native seed bank to respond. It also helps control ticks and consume and debris that might be on the ground from TSI or timber harvest.

[@tribaltrees6765]

Fire is natural my man

[@countryroadsoutdoors7854]

If u didn’t have trespassing before, you will now. I just have to ask why the heck u would post that? Don’t get me wrong, smoke it up, but either you are oblivious, or u need to lay off a little.

[@Landandlegacytube]

Haha it’s very common to find in that part of the world, also called ditch weed there, you can smoke it if you want but thd and cbd levels are quite different so you’d be better off smoking it for bug control. Hard to avoid seeing it in some areas

[@countryroadsoutdoors7854]

Wow, learn something new everyday.

[@ZZ_Trop]

It's everywhere in the Midwest. You can usually find it along fence lines, edges of corn/soy fields and of course, the ditches along roads. Very hard to eradicate with mechanical or chemical control. Cannabis Ruderalis makes good rope, not good dope. Major headache weed...

[@mechaslugzilla]

I recall seeing spectacular stands of hemp along the Niobrara river. Smells nice, and it's great bird food.

[@cincinnatigrinder4951]

THAT'S A NICE POT MARIJUANA PLANT RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU THAT LOOKS LIKE IT NEEDS WATER THE LEAVES ARE SAGGING!! 😭🤣😭🤣
