Love the thick areas and the browse on the sides. I also think it looks like you use a cultipacker on your trails after seeding. I do as well and can’t imagine I’d have near the success without using one.
Thanks Someday Isle. Actually that was planted with my no-till drill but I know what you mean about the look. Prior to buying the drill I always cultipacked after seedling and it would often look as though it had been drilled.
The woods roads you see are the result from about 2-3 years after a timber harvest. Many areas - particularly the sunnier areas show a lot of regeneration growth which gets thicker every year. The loggers made "skidder trails" through the woods harvesting the timber. I decided to keep some of them open so I went through with the cultivator, disc and drag to level them out and then seeded them. A lot of wildlife use them regularly - deer, turkeys, rabbits, grouse, etc.
