In today's show, we have an in-depth conversation about the pros and cons of hinge cutting while practicing Timber Stand Improvement. We discuss situations where it may be beneficial but also highlight circumstances where it can be detrimental to the landscape and we provide better alternatives such as hack and squirting, basal spraying, and cutting trees for mineral stumps. However, the common theme in this episode is having intentionality and a reason why while practicing wildlife management and conservation and being purposeful in the decisions you make in the outdoors.
