crap! Part of my property was an old cattle pasture, best I can gather about 30 years ago. The previous owner (I bought in January) would maintain certain open areas as pseudo food plots and roads and just random clearings. The areas the were left alone have grown up in junk in my opinion. Autumn olive, winged sumac, red bud, poplar, cedar, brush honeysuckle, etc. I’m sure there are a few random small oaks interspersed as well, but I haven’t dove head first into most of it cause it pretty thick. So my question is, in the areas that are former openings (I’ve planted about 6 acres of it) what good what I do to let it return to it “natural” state when I can already see the outcome? Am I missing something or is it inevitable to be filled with more crap if I let them go?
I understand the importance of cover, yet I feel I have a good bit already. I’m just trying to maximize every acre.
