Peplin Creek
5 year old buck +
There are two sections of our property that were logged off 10 years ago and the other about 15 - 20 years ago. Both of these areas the popple trees that came back held deer great initially for bedding. Now it seems like they just pass through it. Still solid cover them. What I would like to do is take small pockets 1/3 acre in size and hinge cut some areas to create more bedding cover in them again and help hopefully hold some deer back into the center of the property.
1.) has anyone hinge cut popple, and if so is it successful and worth doing?
2.) when is the best time to do it? I wouldn’t mind starting in the winter but I don’t know if the trees will still get growth on them the following spring. Or if extreme cold will damage the tree too much. (Rookie Question)
Any advice would be great. Thanks
