Im going to be doing alot of edge feathering around my plots after deer season closes, or closer to spring depending on our winter. Is there a way to speed up the thickening after the cut? I dont want it to be so bare for so long that deer abandon my area. Some smaller maples I plan to try...

As we head into winter, I was wondering if there is a time that is better than another to do some cutting to get the most stump sprout regeneration on things like maple etc? Years ago before I got into habitat things, we had some maples cleared at our old house and I remember them sprouting...
