Hi William

Low WR LMB population is being addressed well in your current efforts of culling LMB, establishing additional forage species [TFS], and boosting BG population with addition of cover. I'd continue to focus your placement of dense brush in shallow areas under 5-6' - think of bunching it instead of thinly spreading it. 2-3 bundles of trees in one area, move 100 feet, sink another. Sounds like you are on the right track. Did you see improved BG recruitment following your structure placement efforts last year?
