I have been doing some scouting for archery deer season and have found a place where a long, narrow strip of cattails (about 30 - 40 yards wide) separates a corn field and a soybean field. The deer are bedding in the corn field durring the day, and crossing the cattails in the evening to feed in the soybean field. There is a tree right at the edge of the cattails on the soybean side, and I will be hanging a stand there for the upcoming archery season. The problem is, the deer are crossing the cattails in multiple different places.
I have permission from the landowner to cut a path through the cattails to funnel deer traffic closer to the tree where my stand will be. I'm thinking that the best way to do this may be with a cordless hedge trimmer, although I have never used one before. Does anybody have any experience with cordless hedge trimmers? Will a cordless hedge trimmer work for this application, or would there be a better method? The cattails are very thick, so I am concerned about battery strength. I would like to make this path about 10 feet wide.
Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated.

I had my 550 fan rebuilt a couple years ago. After burning through the overly rich breakin gas and changing spark plugs, it rips better than expected - or at least better than I remembered!
Those old girls still git r done.
Unhooked the sled and left all of my gear on the fishing spot. Wanted to find the battery before somebody drove over it or picked it up, and before the morning bite was over.
My 30 year-old Indy 500 still has a little bit of pep left in it. Wasn't even full-throttle at 70 mph (speedo number; GPS likely closer to 65 mph).
