"Chainsawing" a new sanctuary?
There is an area about 15 acres in size on my hunting property that is basically void of anything of value in terms of logs or deer habitat. Crooked trees block out the light with no undergrowth. If I stand at one end of it I can see all the way through it. No oaks or any mast bearing trees. Every year I look at it and wonder if I cut all the trees at about 3-4 feet, but not all the way through, just enough to get the trees to double over, if I could create a tangled mess that the deer might start using for cover. I had another piece of the property partiallylogged off thinking the leftover tops would provide cover but after a year all I was left with was foot high brush piles. Anyone think my chainsawed sanctuary might work?
