It will be a good spell before turkeys use anything but the edge of this.

I did that for about 12 hours this past weekend and hope to do more this weekend and the following.
We're just cutting them down and cutting them in 1/2 or 1/3'rds and leaving them lay.
After a mass multi flora rose eradication effort, the under story was somewhat barren in some places.. safe to say there's a lot of security and bedding cover on the ground now.

I wish ours had been thin enough to look like that. That looks useable.

Lookin good fellers.

I just got in from marking trees. I've got 22 acres of TSI to get done yet this spring. Jenny, myself & the boy that mows my grass are going to start on it tomorrow afternoon. Had all kinds of plans to get started earlier in the winter, but never got around to it. My plc informed me the other day when I mentioned it, that I can't fell trees larger than 10" after March 31. So we're just going to girdle them & fell em next fall for firewood.

Dang Henry, it looks good! When you decide what you are going to do with it, please post pictures from the same spots so we(I) :D can see the change. I'd like to see what kinds of plants come up in your green space. Are you putting more food plots in?

The Indiana bat thing. I knew you couldn't cut certain trees before sometime in October. I didn't know when the window started .

I know what we did, what would you do...
I should go take a pic of my cedar patch..... That's wide open woods compared to mine.

You literall have to crawl on the ground to pass through them, and no vegitation grows on the ground underneath them, it's like stepping into the darkness. I'd say I have about 2-4 acres like this, hard to tell because they are so thick. I am thinking, I'd just liket to thin them down to a point where native grasses could grow between them..... And deer could use as a place to escape the pressures of life. I should probably make a point of going in there and knocking down 2-3 each time I come up from Jan - Mar.
