i'd go about 20 feet wide, at a lil over 300 yards long, as long and straight as possible. i used a dozer, cut right through the middle of our 40 acres at lake o' the pines, that same day, all the deer in the forest came to see the new "court". had way better success rate than b4. after awhile, the edges of yer lane will grow in, so be ready for that. gl
