Just got a small piece of timber bought. It's 31 acres of upland timber. Mature hardwoods of oak hickory and such, multiflora rose, and small trees. Very very, thick. I know thick is good, but, I can't even hardly walk through the place.
The piece is adjoined with hundreds of acres of big timber. My question is, can I go in and clear SOME of the multiflora and such up and at least make some trails so a person can get around the piece without making to much of a dent on the habitat? It would be nice to be able to take the little guy squirrel or rabbit hunting and not have to worry about him getting lost in a rose bush. I was thinking of going through and clearing a good portion of the scrub trees and multiflora rose up and doing some hinge cutting. I also would pile some of the cut trees and bushes into piles instead of burning it. What would you do?
