RE: Clear cuts
Dan,
The problem is, there are no trails. Along one of the fence lines bordering the South clear cut a wall of brush extended over 100 yards. I made three openings, hoping that they would use them. There is no sign there. Most of the previous trails have tops, limbs and unusable pine logs blocking them. And no sign where they may be detouring the debris. My guess is that it may take a year or two to start seeing new trails. Leaf fall has been heavy and it will take some time for new trails to show. It's not a question of blocking old trails. What may be needed is to clear out some areas so they will have easy paths to start new trails. My ATV trails show more usage than any where else. But I'm sure that this is night traffic, not daytime passing. It may take most summer to open some of the thick stuff.
