if you're squatting, fall is fine, but if you have a claim, you take the 3rd, 4th, 5th sub-canopy trees, they will regenerate infinitely under the canopy. tar them, leave them stacked for a year to cure.
you can spoon drill and oxidize the stumps if you really want.

fence post is worth 40, so 10 in winter is your weeks wages. punt 50 of them and get work in town, and you're up.
