IF you end up getting everything clear cut, the best thing you can do is get your trails and openings cleared and cut the first year, then keep up with them every year. It's easy to go in and cut clearings and trails when it's all freshly cut. But if you wait, it will grow quickly and get out of hand quickly.

I had a neighbor clear cut about 120 acres, and he let me go in and make trails as soon as they were done. The deer use them now. At this point I just have to run a brush hog through them twice a year and trim any over hanging stuff.
