While working in South Carolina, Grant found this area where forestry mulching was used. As you can see in this video, the mulch did not kill the hardwoods. Mulching makes it look good for a year or two but stumps will sprout creating unproductive whitetail habitat.  See more information in this short video on where you could use mulching and where/why not to mulch for longterm productive whitetail habitat improvements.
