Well this one runs along very thick brush and a hardwoods,which like most hardwoods is thick along the edge.

now i can walk in silently,instead of fighting my way through making all kinds of noise. The deer started using it the next day as well,so new places for stands.

It also allows excess to an area instead of walking WAY around, is faster and easier to get deer out and stands in .

Most folks who hunt thick areas need to cut trails, few to this extreme.....

Why torch them?...with the size of brush it will deteriorate pretty fast and give cover for other game species as well as....providing a good base for bramble young trees to grow up through...greens in general

Soil looks good ...a test.... lime drag and lay down some seed....rye and clovers if all you want are trails..it will stop erosion...help keep the trail clear and still provide food for critters

No burning. This was done by the land owner, he was over there taking out a hedgerow and pushing back the thick brush about 50 feet for a few hundred yards, this allows for more rows of corn and beans,he does this around most fields .

While he was there he did this old trail for me as it was way to much for me keep open by hand anymore.now he's talking about a bridge across the ditch....

He often knocks down brush and such around my gun stands so i get longer shots and can see 'em coming.

I'd like to run the dozer into the thick stuff (its about 15 acres) and make a clearing for a food plot that would be killer in late season when the crops are gone and they stay in there during day light.

Larry --- Did he Bulldoze a trail to the neighbor's property ? :fie::girlcrazy:

No, its all his, this trail runs a couple hundred yards or a more,from a corn field in the center of the land to a bean field on the east side . On the bean field side its easy to get to a over grown field where he mows paths all around it for me,making for easy walks or when its dry,I can drive in .

Grow i love that idea it is wide enough in places to plant. That is a great idea .

I got to get off this comp. and to the gym and then start my Christmas shopping !
