Hello, I’m looking for some advice on a 1 acre area I have on my property that is mostly all mature hemlock. I have several food plots on the land and some good brush areas that deer often bed in. my property is only 23 acres in size and I do everything I can to make it a deer holding piece. We have had a lot of success with what’s been done already. Now I get to this one acre that appears to have little to no value for deer. There is only 25-30 hemlock over it but they completely block any sunlight. They also provide no thermal cover as they are too tall. It is basically wide open as far as you can see. My thought was to clear it completely opening the canopy and building some good brush on a 3-5yr plan. I have a 30hp tractor with loader and numerous chain saws to work with. The area is not easily accessible to bring the logs out and I’m not sure hemlock is worth it anyway. I’m not doing this for any kind of financial reason so I don’t care about getting money for the logs, it’s just for better habitat. I tried to add a picture but the file is too large for some reason so it won’t post. Thoughts, suggestions? Thank you.
