Luckily, I've started trapping too so I think the turkey population will be just fine on this tract in the coming years. Regardless, this place had to be burned and my main objective was to start getting rid of sweet gums etc and I'm very happy with the results.

Hit a patch at my place with Arsenal/gly and it seemed to kill it but I got to it before it could establish itself. Lost some pecan and oak trees in the process.
