Last hunting season, I was out bow hunting on SGL 124 in Franklin county. They had a big machine out there just mowing down all the cover brush
. I didn't think much of it, till the last Thursday of bow season , when they started on a large plot of land. When we returned for the first day of rifle season , it was obvious that they had been out there for the last 2 weeks mowing down the cover brush. The machine they were using was capable of mowing down a 12 inch tree. Saw absolutely nothing all rifle season. The had mowed down everything in the fields up to the edge of the woods. Why in the world did they do that. And more to the question, why would they do that the week before rifle season. There is no cover in spots up to 500 yards now. My friend and I were out this week walking the land to see where the deer were.It's pretty well butchered up. Anyone have any ideas what would be the rational behind such an action?
