Y'all wouldn't want to read my whole project but I'll give the cliff note version. I planned on 5 years and I'm in year 2. Pines were growing and shading out undergrowth. With a dozer I pushed down about 2 acres at the end of a food plot. Basically like a hinge cut. I left everything where it fell. 2 years now I cleaned it up to the dirt today. I want a PERMENANT bedding area. The plan maybe sunn hemp this year. Then let it go. Honeysuckle and briars. Every year or every other year (judgement call) before spring green up, bush hog it about a foot high with hopes it grows back over the summer 3-5'. In 5 years I want to be complete and seeing results. I will see if this works.
