Right now, I have about 10 deer wintering on my land, they are hammering the understory of my trees. They are out in my yard all the time eating my trees. I will open the door and yell at them, if they do run away, they dont run far, then come right back. I love watching deer, but I dont want them to ruin my trees.
Do I hope they move on, on their own, or do I feed them so they leave my trees alone? I am afraid if I feed them, more will just show up. I have been keeping about a 150 yard path plowed from snow to my log pile so I can keep cutting wood when I have time, the rest of the ground has 2+ feet on it, so they hang in this plowed area, that also happens to be through a food plot planted with clover, and winter rye.
