I am planting a bunch of white cedars this spring in the woods, knowing the deer will hammer them, so they will be caged. My question is, will there ever be a time when the cages around them can come off? I am planting them for the deer, but I assume whether it is 5 years from now, or 10, when ever I pull the cages off of them, the deer will eat anything they can reach from them. So did I waste money on a bunch of trees, that will need to stay caged, and will actually never have any advantage to the deer?
Right now I am thinking I just spent a bunch of money, and will be planting a very slow growing, and what will become a short term foodplot once the cages come off.
