Okay land nerd, if ya don’t need a license to kill feral hogs in Texas and there’s no season for killing hogs in Texas, then is there any “law” on acreage for killing these unwelcome invaders or trespassing deer on my land and if the state of Texas owns all the deer then why don’t they keep them off my land because I don’t want them on my land as well as the invading hogs

In actuality MOST Counties in Texas have passed some ordinance reflecting safe shooting practices but have no regulation on minimum acreage required. Common sense tells you that even if you have 100 acres next to a school you probably should avoid using a deer rifle there.

I think most Texas Game Wardens just want you to be safe with firearms . I have 10 acres and I also have a large backstop made from skitter tires stacked up . Two Game Wardens came to my house looking for my closest neighbor 1/2 mile from me . She called them because someone was shooting across her land . The one Game Warden looked at my shooting backstop and said "I wish other people would make those." I shoot a lot and am as safe as possible and they know it , so the Wardens and I are good .

They had several separate pastures in the study. Some were left completely alone. others they were doing controlled burns to replicate what would have been 100 years ago when grass fire weren't controlled. One of the faculty advisors had told me back then (100+ years ago) the ashe junipers were limited to the small canyons and creek beds and that natural fires would burn them out of everywhere else. The oaks and other trees could survive the grass fires. My PhD work involved using canopy texture patterns as an alternative method of land cover detection.

Careful there! You failed to mention that 1-d-1 are subject to rollback taxes if the usage changes. A rollback tax occurs when a land owner switches the land’s use to non-agricultural. These rollback taxes under 1-d-1 are based on the five tax years preceding the year of change. So, this video is correct in that you can save a lot of tax dollars by using the 1-d-1 "ag exemption". BUT if circumstances change you could be on the hook for a bundle. So like the video says be sure to know where you are before you jump in!

Most things are 10 acres. It's a weird law But technically you have to have 10 acres to live on, in any county connected to the Rio Grande. This came in effect during Clinton. He put it into law. And I said Rip Grande. That for Texas. All other states it if the county boarders Mexico. Why he did this is unknown. I have my guesses with the Clinton's and thier connections to the Cartels. But who knows. Also it's not legal to sell land in those counties under 10 acres. Which you may ask about land that was smaller then prior. Or town /city lots. Best to just ask the county you are looking at. There is a different between what is law, and what the county will enforce. Add to this, you need to look at covents the land has. Some land says you can hunt a whole area. Others say no hunting. A Covent is like laws you agree to when you by land. Watch it because covents can say anything. It's possible you buy 100 acres and covents says you are not allowed to live on it. Or someone else has rights to use your land . It's kinda like a HOA. Except covents are much older.

Juniper is the single biggest allergen producer in Texas, causing millions of dollars of losses because of illness and lost production from "cedar fever." It's the reason why, if you move to Central or North Texas free of allergies, you will develop them within two or three years. At the first freeze, cedar will pollinate and continue to do so for two months or more, giving the period roughly from Thanksgiving to after New Year's the name "cedar-fever season." I remember one winter in Austin when the cedar-pollen count went from 800 particles per cubic meter to over 14,000 within one 24-hour period.

Good video. We have 80 acres in Oklahoma that my grandfather bought in 1924. When he was alive, he would burn portions of it every summer. This would keep the tree growth down. Since he has been gone for over 50 years now, this portion is now full of trees, some being a relative to the central Texas Cedar. Your explanation makes very good sense.

I've lived inthe hill country forover 10 years and I've always been intrigued by the Ashe Junipur in my yard. I learned a lot from your presentation. A couple of things i noticed was that after a rain, the bark of the cedar will soak up the rain water so that it stays wet several days. Nothing as (far as I can tel)l eats the cedar foliage, that''s why the deer don't eat it. The cedar berries dont have a good flavour for humans. Once a limb dies, it doesnt grow back. The roots are very entangled underground and very hard to pull out even when it is small.
@TheLeftwheel19 сағат бұрын
you actually can use juniper berries for food in a couple ways that I've found. If making gin isn't your thing (lol), you can wash and dry the berries and grind them up to flavor meats. Smoked or dried meat flavored with juniper is very tasty, I think. It's a potent flavor so it doesn't take much. I've also used the ground berries to flavor game stews. The dusty coating on the outside of the juniper berry is actually yeast bacteria! Which means that you can use them to make sourdough starter! Plop a few berries in a flour/water mixture like usual, feed it for a few days, and you've got yourself a potent sourdough starter.

Climate alarmists are blaming range fires, forest fires etc in recent years on Climate Change. The change was made 100 - 150 years ago with suppression of fires. Thess same junipers grow in New Mexico and Colorado but are interspersed with Piñon Pine. I was surprised to not see Piñon when I first came to Hill Country. My grandparents in New Mexico used cedar for fence posts because it was readily available and strong and doesn't rot. My Grandpa made beautiful furniture from cedar. Utah and New Mexico and probably western Colorado cleared thousands of acres of cedar and piñon and planted browse for deer.

Um, so I spent a while looking for old documentation. I found a description from an early settler near the Edwards Plateau that recounted the "vast swathes of cedar," interspersed by oak. So, not exactly the same as what you seem to say here. I have always found it interesting how people claim that it is invasive and it will take over a whole field if you let it "in like, 10 years, maaannnn." 😂 I mean, it does spread faster than say, hardwoods. But not that much faster. Same with the claims of water consumption. The real issue is that the "needles" (I dunno that this is the correct term) that fall around them tends to kill off grass. And as you lose the grass, you lose the ability to retain moisture in the soil. Or retain soil at all in some places on the plateau. Which is one of the reasons we have so much exposed limestone here. That said, we absolutely NEED cedar to keep animals here in a stable ecosystem. Just eliminating all of it is a bad thing.
@LandownerTV5 күн бұрын
Thanks for commenting! You are right, cedar has it's place and provides a ton benefits. Including providing shelter for a number of species of wildlife, cover even when areas have been overgrazed, and it's been shown to produce soil at a higher rate than some grasslands. Getting rid of it is not a solution because it's native, has it's place, and has been here for a long long time. Even those anecdotes are scratching the surface of the benefits it can provide, you may have inspired me to make a video specifically outlining it's benefits. The reality though is that it is invasive and it can certainly take over a field in 10 years. This is not the case in every field nor does it happen in every instance, it's just a possibility that in can and does. There is a TON of research to support this, including the research I conducted in my master's thesis that tracked cedar invasion in the Texas Hill Country on the Leon River Restoration Project. There is also research around this topic performed on the Agrilife Research Station in Sonora, TX and even a more recent study I link to below here. This study called "Characterizing the encroachment of juniper forests into sub-humid and semi-arid prairies from 1984 to 2010 using PALSAR and Landsat data" shows that 65% of the Juniper Forests they observed were not present 15 years before.... Check it out. (www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0034425717305680).

@@LandownerTV I suppose that what I meant by "it isn't invasive," is that it is native. Unfortunately, I cannot read most of that study due to not being able to sign in with (I am assuming) a college institution login. But even in the beginning and the conclusion, it is cited that the topic of cedar (or rather juniper, we just call it cedar colloquially) is quite contested. And 40km^2 is not rally that much, based on it's coverage. I already stated that it DOES take over. It is just that people aroynd the Edwards plateau make it out like in 10 years your whole field will be covered. Which is just silly. As I stated prior, the thing that juniper does for us (besides feed and home many many animals) is the same as it's downfall. It drops needles (again, not sure if this is the correct term) and kills off grasses. However, in doing so, it provides soil. But, this is a catch 22 often, as if there is no grass to hold on to that soil, it simply is washed away by rain, and only benefits creeks and lowlying area. My point being, when cultivated in tandem with a selection of native prarie grasses, it can actually help to build soil, along with the grasses. Resulting in a lush prarie, rather than just a rocky hilltop. 🤣 I just think that it's place is misunderstood, and it has been unduely vilified. Especially around here. (centex area) It does plenty of GOOD as well, and I think that our suppression of fires, while good for us and animal populations) have had adverse affect. If grasslands containing juniper were allowed to burn (say, if we didn't live here) I think that the balance would remain far more in order. It is a very ignitable tree. And the fires would cull it and stunt it's growth. Point being, it is only really invasive because we live near it, and try to prevent it burning all our houses down. 🤣 Thusly, we must manage both it and the grass in the grasslands with quite a bit more vigor, same as we cull deer, to keep it's rapid expansion from hurting native species as well as itself. Idk, my 2c. I actually spent off and on a year or two looking into this pseudo-myth. And while I don't have a degree, let alone a masters...I still think that due to my exposure and lots of time dedicated to researching and questioning the "truths" about juniper that I have a "better than average" knowledge and thusly, take. But, I could always be wrong. It happens every day. I just think that the standard teachings both loosely in school, and colloquially, are quite flawed. Please do make a "benefits of juniper," video. I would be quite interested.
