[QUOTE="Popcorn, post: 5059316, member: 20151"] One of my winter tasks has been thinning pine stands that are too small for pulp wood and too tall and dominant to be good habitat. These are 15 to 18 years old. If you can walk into a pine stand and see 50 to 100 yards back thru it it is terrible habitat! No food, No cover, No game. I have been taking 50% by taking 2 rows, leaving 2 rows. Stands I have done this to in the past have exploded in native and natural forbs, grasses and weeds. Tremendous bird habitat as well as ground deer are at home in. This also will expedite the growth of the remaining pines. My goal is to eventually eliminate all but a few random pines and replace them with natural thickets and warm season grasses. [/QUOTE]
