Most of them are 5-8” in diameter so fire isn’t going to kill them. I used Hack and squirt in February and it has worked but there are too many gums for me to handle. Aerial spray company said it’s best to spray them around September as the sap starts to make its way back to the roots. I’m hesitant to burn as some of the areas but up to 1500 acres of timber company land with 4 year old pines.

My understanding is that fire will kill almost any size sweet gum in September if the fire girdles the base of the tree.
I may be wrong on that, but I would definitely talk to someone about that.
I understand the hesitation on burning. I highly recommend the burn certification course. Once certified, there are protections from Mississippi law if you follow all the guidelines

Hinge cutting them might be a more beneficial use of your time if managing for deers.
