I agree completely. Got to have a mixture of trees what I was talking about is the places like say Sam R WMA for example is say 80% if not more of that place is a pine tree or a recent clear cut. The only hardwoods being SMZ yes it's great cover and habitat but with very little food source. Then for say the black warrior WMA and the bankhead national forest is say probally 60% or so hardwoods with the rest being scattered pine thickets, and scrub brush briars,beach trees etc. and in the forest side some recent timber cutting. To me that seems like a decent mixture of habitat, cover, and food source it might be the best mixture ratio but its got to be better then 17k acres of pure pines in varying stages of growth.
