[QUOTE="squackattack, post: 5328806, member: 22032"] I am harvesting three spots on my property right, they will be my favorite harvest method a clear cut/regeneration harvest. They are spread out across the property. Ranging from six to 13 acres. They are in different aspects, elevations, and adjacent to different timber types. I am clear felling all trees left to create an even age stand. This creates the best timber quality. I hope to burn them to help change species composition in favor of oaks and forbs. We will see though, I really want great turkey brood habitat, but might just get marginal deer bedding for a few years. I’ll take it though. Just more about turkey, even though they seem harder for me to manage for. Clear cuts are only as good as you set them up. If you let undesirable trees and invasive species to get established,then you are in for a nightmare. What I see with clear cuts is they are not done correctly. Erosion is a problem with all harvest methods, it is easier to see in clear cuts though. They have a place just like everything else. [/QUOTE]
