I typically bushhog my pasture in stages throughout the year for the exact reason you pointed out except it’s for the black angus steers rather than the “locals” although they indulge every night.

Refer to my post dated Sept 09, 2023 on Page 7 of this thread for the details on the two new unwanted vehicular access roads accessing the right-of-way/easement.
What's done is done, but my real concern was the two new roads provided easy access onto the property for ATV/Side by Side trespassers.
The wheels of "justice" roll VERY slowly and with fall and early winter hunting seasons approaching soon, I wanted those new roads closed off.
You can never keep determined trespassers off your property, especially those on foot. But reasonably, if you can keep the 99% out, that's the best you can do other than having prison walls/razor wire.

I had some free time several days ago and hauled the Kubota up to the rural property. Just over 5 hours of seat time on the little mighty Kubota.

This is what the 1st vehicular access road looked like when I arrived.

This is what the road looks like now.

On either side of the freshly piled rocks there is old existing stone fence from the 1800's, it's just hidden from view due to vegetation.
This road blockage is a work in progress. Any big rocks found when doing tractor work on the property will be dumped and stacked here. I ran out of material, but it will do for now.

The 2nd vehicular access road looked like this when I arrived.

This is what it looked like when I went home.

I used the waste material left behind by the tree trimming company. I started with two logs about 25 feet long and about 10" diameter on the big ends.
I interlaced the long logs with existing trees and then piled trees stumps, shorter logs, root balls, and up on top, some brush.
The long logs on the bottom, being interlaced with other trees, can't be easily rolled or pushed.

Every time I'm at the property with the Kubota and have some free time, I will add more rocks and timber waste.

While there and doing tractor jobs, I also cleaned out the leftover tree trimming debris on the ATV/foot path in the easement under the power lines that we use for accessing some of the deer stands and for ATV deer retrieval.

The Kubota BX may be a small 4wd diesel tractor, but with a determined operator willing to tackle jobs with smaller bites, it has proved to be invaluable!

The "tooth bar" allows you to push tree trimming debris off the cleared ground and into the woods where it is out of the way without doing it by hand or getting on and off the Kubota constantly.

The entire day's work cash money expenditures? A gallon of diesel for the tractor and several gallons of tow vehicle/Jeep gas. The five+ hours on the machine? Just relaxing out in the woods!
I did get my exercise that day getting some of the larger boulders into the front loader bucket.

The local Environmental Conservation Police Officer (fish cop) REALLY didn't want the assignment he was given by dispatch.
He made that plain as day during my phone call with him.

Since the fish cop phone call on/about September 8th, the fish cop has been a ghost. He won't answer his phone. I leave messages, he doesn't call back.
Now he will like the assignment he was given, and me, even less. I just seriously jacked up his Supervising Lieutenant.
I told the LT I was NOT going away quietly and I wanted to pursue any/all criminal charges possible.

I'm not going away quietly and have zero interest in dropping the investigation and/or potential prosecution.
