[QUOTE="Omega, post: 5850072, member: 20060"] No, the place was planted with a mix of oaks, mostly willow oaks and is under an easement which does not allow cutting of any trees except invasive types, which do not number enough to do the trick. I can clear underbrush somewhat, but there is not much honestly as the willow leaves leave a blanket that snuffs out most of it. I got an area cleared and planted grass but it did not last, the leaves killed it. I was allowed to clear some shooting lanes through the trees taking out the lower branches, which did a great job of making a good hunting area. There seems to be a bunch of deer trails though so they are there, and have seen a few when I have been working the area. It has ag fields on three sides, so am leaving the edges as they were for cover, and only working the middle, a star pattern from the stand. With only 20 acres I have to give them a reason to keep them passing through without putting too much pressure on them. [/QUOTE]
