I've got about a 60 acre stand of natural hardwood regrowth approximately 24 years old. It is mostly white oaks. I noticed the other day that there is a decent amount of maple, sweet gum, and black cherry mixed in. I've talked to a forester and he told me to hack and squirt the less desirable trees but I've looked into hinge cutting some of it. Has anyone had any experience with this? Can you hinge cut too much? Some areas tend to be more cluttered with less desirable trees than others. I've only read a few articles and watched a few videos on it and it seems fairly straightforward.
