Great pics! Very envious of the variety you have on your place. Gives me something too shoot for, but I can see that it's going to be a L O N G process. Not sure I'm wanting to take on more plotting acres with the equipment/time I have, so I'm thinking next year I'm going into the tree planting business.
What's with the zombie frog ??? That thing looks like something from a science-fiction horror movie !!! Dead, blue eyes. Other than the spooky frog, all the rest of the pix look real good. Lots of food & cover on the Native ranch. Thanks for posting.
Jungle is the right title !! We can see why the deer don't like your place. Too much food and cover !!Those trees in the jungle have grown in the last couple years. I remember pix you posted a ways back when they were a fair amount smaller. Hard to see down the rows now.
I just saw a buck at camp that looked like the first black & white pic on your post #411. Maybe something good lurking around this year ??
Native-have you checked out the thread on Mineral Stumps from MSU? Might have you rethinking the herbicide following larger tree removal.
How long ago was this a grass field?It is amazing at how fast the trees have grown. I wish I had taken some pictures when we first started, but didn't. But basically it was just a grass field.
