The place I hunt began getting cut when I started hunting it about 16 yrs ago.It was all mature hardwood Mtn timber.The first 12 or so years were awesome and we would hunt the cutovers that were cut the year before.The entire place was finished up about 4 yrs ago.The cutovers that are in the 10-15 yr old range are a wasteland now.They grew mostly back in gum,sumac and other soft woods. They have gotten to the point of shading out all the under growth and it's amazing how bad the hunting is compared to what it use to be.The land owner would never consider fire or anything due to the liability and difficulty of burning mountain land.This entire property is a couple of years away from being good for nothing and regeneration of hardwoods is poor at best.This is a big tract of land that is basically unfixable.
