Hey Burgermeister, Congrats on getting your project going! Are you jumping in on a dozer also or decide against that?
Your area may be significantly different than mine, but I have seen very good growth in fall stocked BG and HBG. You may recall that my TGG's grew from 4 inches to about 7 or 8 inches from Dec. to June. If you are starting with 2-3 inch BG this fall, and have similar growth to what I see in East Texas your BG will be pushing 6 inches next spring and should be safe from any 8 inch LMB that you stock next June. Myself, I don't think I would mess with the 2-3 inch LMB but just go with the 8 inchers who will immediately go to work on helping you achieve your objective of large BG. Good luck on your project!!
