The topography of the pine stand is hilly, with ridges running all through the pines dropping off into a bottom where the hardwoods start. The loggers have made 2 loading decks with 1 being right by a 2 acre food plot I have. By that loading deck, they have cut 4 lanes, I guess because that was how the ridges ran and the only thinning option due to topography. I was thinking about putting a shoot house on the loading deck location overlooking the food plot and the 4 cut lanes. What would you guys do? Plant food plots in the lanes? Bushhog the lanes? Let the lanes grow up? It's also worth noting I have 40-50 of fruit trees and hard mast producing trees I am wanting to plant on the property now that I have the room. Any advice on planting locations would be helpful!
