The commercial certificated pilot departed on a local area business flight to check on some of his hunting clients. The pilot said he did not locate the clients, but continued to aerial scout for sheep. He then decided to land in a clear area where he landed in the past. During the roll out, the pilot said brush along the left side of the area was taller that he anticipated. The left wing collided with the brush, and he attempted to keep the airplane straight by applying right brake pressure. The airplane decelerated and then nosed over. It received damage to the propeller, and the left wing lift strut.
Probable Cause: The pilot's selection of unsuitable terrain for landing. A factor was high vegetation in the landing area.
