Best time to fell trees

[bigboreblr]

IF you need trees down for whatever reason. This is the best time to do it for the deer.

They could use the buds on the tops to nibble on.

Today I Felled some young black walnuts that will be problems for my apples trees someday. Also, thinned out some red cedars that block the roadside view of my pool at home.

Sometimes you get lucky and the bucks loose a shed in a felled tree. At least in NY, wind it back a few weeks and muzzleloader hunting over those trees can be quite advantageous.

Got abou 4i cnehs of snow at home. I scooped up a 1/2 ton of barn lime at tractor supply today. Probably the ground will be bare n a week or so.

That's the project for the next couple weekends. Dropping a few trees here and there for firewood and releasing others.

Same. Dropping some red maples and spruce and fir in some areas I am working on poplar regeneration. And getting my dead and/or dying ash on the ground.

I dropped some soft (red) maple here on our 12 acres, but it seems like the deer left to feed on winter wheat across the street that the farmer planted as a cover crop.

They'll hit it at some point.
