After I had the brush cleared and set a few more flags, I sold all the remaining trees and had them cut to help offset the costs.
I then spent the next whole summer cutting firewood and burning brush. It was a huge job but enjoyable. I think I hauled somehwere around 50-60 facecords of oak tops out. I focused on the oak and hickory and by the time I got it all out I couldn't take it anymore and I had the remaining hackberry, elm, locust etc...piled and burned.
The turkeys and deer enjoyed the clover I planted up where the top of the future dam was going to be.
