An unmanaged woodlot is not a pretty thing. The previous owners logged it hard for profit, taking only the best. Which of course left all the shitty stuff that SHOULD have bee cut down.

We have a piece at the back of our property which the last owner plowed and then left it so needless to say it is a tad bumpy. I think I'll get our neighbour to plow and disc it for us this year and then let half go natural (including making the pond a bit larger) and then leaving the rest for hay in the future. The place should be just how I want it by the time I'm on my death bed. Nice!

It was awesome. We're having them take out some trees for us (60 cord out so far, we're capping them at 150). It was a wonderful afternoon, though they are clearly not logging experts (they "dead-man'd" 3 trees while we were out with them. Thankfully they're on the same page about WHICH trees to cut! Our bush is 15, joining into about 100 that belongs to neighbours. Lots of wildlife action too! We had a great trek into our bush yesterday, via Amish sled. It was awesome.

I'm always amazed at how silent it is in there. It's as if sound can't penetrate the darkness. We have 13 acres here. Most of it is fenced pasture but there is some bush in the back that adjoins to Crown Land. It’s true. I’m always amazed at how silent it is in there. It’s as if sound can’t penetrate the darkness.

Last year around this time I went for a walk back there and there were deer droppings EVERYWHERE! This year there is nothing at all. Strange indeed. It’s downright surprising.

We've a salt lick out there for them but still no sign. Like you say, it's nice to explore nature in your own backyard.
