I am purchasing a property about 80 acres, about 40 of it was select cut about 7 years ago, the owner said he did not hunt or lease the property. So I know the best years for the clear cut are probably over but I would like to restore or enhance the clear cut to maintain good natural browse and bedding. It is very thick mostly briar and small trees. I've read a few post that suggested cutting lanes and then fertilizing is a good plan. but that would only effect the areas that are cut the rest would continue to mature. I've searched the web but cant seam to find any long term plan for keeping clear cuts optimal any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated
