I am considering doing a clear cut on my farm in an area that has mature hardwoods but otherwise is essentially tough to hunt. It has no natural funnels but is a PERFECT place to have a giant thicket for whitetails as it borders a 6 care alfalfa field I have.
Having it as is works well now-but I can't help but think how much better it could be by doing a clear cut. Its hard thinking I am "chopping down" my trees but it truly is for the benefit of my farm and wildlife. I have had TSI, plots, a 30 acre sanctuary in the middle and JUST got approved for 11 acres of CP 25 CRP this next year through 2025.
So, does one clear cut a 30 care section of timber, do parts etc? Any thoughts are appreciated!
