Abstract: A trawl system component includes T90 netting and a first seam formed of a first netting panel attached to a second netting panel with the first seam having a seam ratio of less than one. The first netting panel is selected from a group consisting of: i) T0 meshes; and ii) T90 meshes having a mesh size of 160 mm or less. The second netting panel is T90 netting having a mesh size of 160 mm or less. The stretch measure of the second panel's netting has a lesser horizontal value than the horizontal stretch measure of the first panel's netting. The first panel is situated forward of the first seam, and the second panel is situated aft thereof. The trawl system component also third netting panel secured into the trawl system component by a third seam that is located further aft in the component from the location of the first seam.

Abstract: One aspect of the present disclosure is a method for preconditioning a whitetail deer forage plot. The disclosed whitetail deer forage plot preconditioning method includes the steps of: 1. selecting an area of soil to be preconditioned in a locale accessible to whitetail deer; and 2. sowing plant seed in the selected area of soil that includes Lapsana communis seed. In another aspect, the present disclosure is a method for preparing a seed blend for use in sowing a forage plot for whitetail deer. The seed blend preparation method includes the steps of: 1. selecting a seed type other than Lapsana communis seed for inclusion in the seed blend; and 2. combining a first quantity of plant seed of the selected seed type other than Lapsana communis seed with second quantity of Lapsana communis seed to thereby produce the seed blend.
