Hunting Lane Clearing in Broxton, GA

Hunting Lanes · Broxton, GA

Shooting lanes and trails for south Georgia hunting land

Hunting lane clearing gives you a clear shot from the stand and a quiet path to reach it. Southern Grind Solutions cuts shooting lanes and hunting lanes on hunting land around Broxton and Coffee County. Under south Georgia pines, the brush is often gallberry. It grows in thick patches that hide deer and block a shot.

We cut the lanes with a forestry mulcher. It grinds brush and small trees where they stand, and the chips stay on the ground. You flag the stand and the lanes you want, and we open them up. The same machine handles forestry mulching along fence lines, and bigger tracts fall under land clearing.

What We Handle

  • Shooting lanes cut out from your stand
  • Access trails opened to your stands
  • Gallberry and other brush mulched under pines
  • Lanes run down the rows in planted pines
  • Wide access lanes for a side-by-side
  • Ground cleared for new food plots
  • Old field grass cut down for plot ground
  • Chips left on the ground where they fall

How we cut shooting lanes through brush and pines

A shooting lane is a narrow opening cut out from your stand. A lane that crosses a deer trail gives you a shot as deer move through. Bow lanes stay close to the stand, since a bow shot is short. Rifle lanes can run much farther.

An access lane is the trail you walk or ride to reach the stand. Deer follow their noses, so plan that trail with the wind in mind. Cut it wide enough for a side-by-side, and getting a deer out is easier. Where a trail crosses a ditch, we set a culvert as part of our excavation and dirt work.

In planted pines, a lane can follow the rows, so the timber stays standing. The mulcher clears the brush between the rows. This job leaves the large trees in place.

When should you cut hunting lanes in south Georgia?

Archery deer season in Georgia opens in September, and firearms season follows in October. The Wildlife Resources Division posts the exact dates each year. Plan the lane work for late winter through summer. Then the machine is long gone before opening day.

Gallberry sprouts back after it is cut. A lane opened in spring can green up again by fall. Late in the summer, bush hogging the lanes knocks that new growth back down.

A new food plot needs a head start too. UGA Extension says lime should be mixed into the soil 2 to 3 months before planting, because it reacts slowly. Clear the plot early enough to leave time for that. Wet flats can stay soft after a rainy spell, so leave some extra time in the plan.

Food plot clearing on hunting land

Food plot clearing opens a patch of ground you can plant for deer. We mulch the brush and small trees, or cut down tall grass on an old field. The planting is yours.

Shade matters when you pick the spot. UGA Extension notes that sunlight can limit what grows in a plot cut into the woods. Trees on the south edge shade a plot the most, since the sun crosses the southern sky.

Before you plant, take a soil sample to the county extension office. The test reads the soil's pH and nutrients. Then you know how much lime and fertilizer the plot needs.

How We Work

How a Job With Southern Grind Solutions Runs

From the first call or text to the finished work, here is how it goes.

1

Call or text

Call or text (912) 381-6261 and tell us about the job. Let us know where the land is and what it needs.

2

We look at the job

We come out to see the lot and what the job takes. On a septic job, that includes where the well and the drain field will sit.

3

The written quote

You get the quote in writing. Once you say yes, we set a start date.

4

The work

Georgia law requires a Georgia 811 locate request before mechanized digging, so buried lines get marked first. Then the clearing, the septic dig, the dirt work or the teardown begins.

5

Inspection and cleanup

On a septic job, Georgia's rules keep the system uncovered until the county's final inspection and written approval. Then we backfill and rough grade, and every job ends with the site cleaned up.

FAQ

Hunting Lanes Questions, Answered

Common questions about hunting lanes around Broxton and the surrounding counties. If yours is not here, call or text and ask.

Call (912) 381-6261

What does hunting lane clearing cost?
The price comes down to how much lane you want cut and how thick the brush is. A long ride in over soft ground adds time too. Food plot ground is priced the same way, by the size of the patch and what grows on it. We look at the job and put the quote in writing before any work starts.
What happens to the brush after the lanes are cut?
The forestry mulcher grinds it into chips. The chips stay on the lane floor where they fall. They cover the ground and break down over time.
Do you plant the food plot?
Our part is the clearing, and the planting is yours. The chips stay on top of the open ground. Plan to work the soil before you seed it, since seed needs good contact with the soil.
Do you put up deer stands?
Stands are your part of the job. Set the stand first, or flag the tree where it will go. We cut the shooting lanes out from that spot. A bow stand gets shorter lanes than a gun stand, so tell us which it is.
Can I get lanes cut on land I lease?
Talk to the landowner first. Get the owner's okay in writing before any clearing starts. A hunting lease may not cover cutting brush or trees, so read what yours says about clearing.
How far do you travel for hunting land work?
We cover hunting land within about 80 miles of Broxton. That takes in Coffee County and the counties around it. The towns we serve are on our service area page.
