Turning Terrible Gravel Ground into Viable Deer Habitat

There are so many ways you can turn poor habitat into great habitat with a chainsaw. In this video I show the results of a cut I did last year in an old gravel pit.

For foliar treatment of buckthorn I treat them with a 5% solution of Triclopyr 4. For cut stump I treat the stump with a 25% solution of Triclopyr 4/ 75% diesel or crop oil. I like to mix in applicator dye with both solutions to see where I'm spraying easier. You end up using less chemical if you mix in dye.
