The land we used to hunt in Dallas County had a lot of cane breaks, grasslands with cedars, and wild roses. It had a lot of planted pines too but for some reason, the prairie looking areas were not planted.
Because the landowners enjoy watching Florida Man show up with his jacked up, $85,000 truck thinking it will negotiate the Prairie soil. That usually ends up being a two tractor job.
The truth is that soil is not very conducive to growing pines.
