Not a view from my stand,how about my house?



 

I was cutting right behind the house. I would pull out the so called logs and leave the tops. Deer would come in and eat the tops. Next day I would haul the tops off and start all over again.
I also feed the deer in this same area. I use to showshoe in years ago and see how the deer was doing before I built a house in their back yard.  Feeding the deer,I scatter the grain in a long line. I grab a handful and throw it. I think my feeding line is 50-80 feet long. Keeps the deer from fighting and driving away the small ones.

Mostly white maple. Might of been an ash,maybe an oak. I try to leave the oak for the acorns,but sometimes oak need to be thinned out too.
I would try to leave at least 2 tops out at a time. This keeps the deer from fighting and driving the smaller ones away.
I cut the bog off a few years ago. Cutting cedar,well really anything growing. None of the wood was any good,maybe and I say maybe pulp.No size to most of it. When I would come out with the cedar,I would not limb it and I would stop and back up a few times and that would break off the limbs. I would bring the good size cedar up to my stepsons game camera. The cedar trees would like skinned fish bones in the morning. No green stuff,just limbs. The deer would be in the bog when I was cutting. I would come to the landing,probably no more than 5-600 feet away. I would unhook and by the time I got back,the deer would be there. I would shut off the tractor and start to walk towards them to cut some more and they did not want to leave the food.
Stepson did come down,just once and he had never seen anything like it. All of us that work in the woods,in the winter,have seen this and take it for granted.

Selfie from deerstand. Its windy wet and cold out here. I suspect the deer left for Florida. Its supposed to be single digits tonight. My sister is hunting from a heated blind, I'm going old school. I want that big deer. I'll settle for less, but he ain't going to be up where its cushy.
