Ozark you're almost on Hellbender's level, just a couple more steps down, pulling weeds??? native americans used understory fires to clear out the forests, but then again you make your mistakes on purpose.

Ozark if you want to hunt quail forever, make sure you always have a young thick forest, but if you want year round habitat for deer and turkey, you'll need mature forests with open spaces. Deer will also be found around thickets, but a thick forest is not where you will find deer and turkey year round.

For a guy who hunts, you should know this rather than making the statement you made above.
