Yea I'm going to order the revised... it's ~$100 but seems like a great resource. Evidently the thing is 500 pages...

My dad is getting into his 80s, and I don't live anywhere near our hunting land, so he handles more of the maintenance. It seems like reshaping the forest a bit, mowing fields 1x per year, spot treating undesirable plants (I can handle), and hiring someone to do a burn periodically is a lower maintenance approach than mowing greenfields and planting.
