[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5527818, member: 17"] The trick is keeping the cover provided by Nature. It will quickly grow out of the cover stage, which generally peaks after 4-6 years of regrowth. Then it turns into pole timber, which has some cover value, but not like the quality of cover provided during the "impenetrable jungle" stage. You can either cut more 1-acre patches or try some sort of regrowth restart process. This year, I'm going to try restarting little patches of regrowth using a backpack sprayer with broadleaf herbicides. Have no idea how well it will work, but gotta' try something. If I wanted to keep big areas open, I would use fire. But I'm just trying to restart 1-2 acre patches here and there. [/QUOTE]
