I looked out my back door a little bit ago had three rearing up on their hind legs eating cedar.

I would imagine the cedar is getting a good high prune this year.

Is that like a yooper high water mark?  Cedars with 13ft clear buttlogs?   :D

The few cedars I have behind the house are trimmed up to 5' or so. They haven't been touched for a few years. When I was out tonight putting out corn and sunflower, I noticed that a row of 10' high white pines were also trimmed up to head height. The deer look pretty healthy this year besides a couple fawns that showed up last week, they are a little gaunt. We feed corn,sunflower and pumpkin from end of Nov. til Spring thaw. I've never seen them go after the pine before, but I do remember in the late 80's my Dad shot a nice buck that had a stomach chock full of pine needles, it was tradition to take a peak at what the animal was surviving on. Even as a little kid I remember thinking that was an odd diet?
Not sure which came first, but I have chickens and eggs.

glad I don't work in an ER near them.  What do you bet the guy filming is missing and arm and a leg.  Ads new meaning to the phrase "costing and arm and a leg"  sorry to clarify, I watched the next video of guys running a huge band mill, in Vietnam and pushing it by hand and wearing sandals, on top of a 6 foot diam. log.

Lynn,

  Your sign reminded me we have taken pictures of road signs all over the world where we vacationed. One of our most unique ones was near Capetown in South Africa that said something to the effect "No stopping in this area as car jackings are common". You guessed it - we had to stop and get a picture of the sign. ???

   I know it is an audio link but I saw the road sign of the deer crossing on the cover of the link which triggered my reminder.

   Edit: And the whole topic of the audio link is about deer crossing signs.

If anyone is able or cares to now is the time to hinge cut some soft maples for them.
This is about the toughest month

thecfarm

I will be cutting some wood. But it's in an area of just about all soft wood. Just white pine and red pine.

I've seen deer around here munch on hemlocks I've cut down too. And they are mostly all trimmed up 5' or so also.

Deer are doing fine. I have a steady 30 still coming. When the snow starts to melt,they will slowly taper off and than there will be no deer. There are a few deer out there now.
I am cutting some red pine for the OWB. The deer are coming in there to eat. Nothing like if I dropped a white maple.
Not many bear in this area. My Father hunted this area for years and never saw tracks or a bear. He farmed here too and was outside alot,but never saw one.I had one that came to the feeder a couple years ago. First one I have seen here. Brenda saw one a long ago. I stopped at the stop sign,looked left and she looked right and said,look a bear. By the time I looked right it was gone.

I am noticing more road killed deer this year .
Anyone else seeing this or maybe I am looking more 
I am in northeast Ohio

WV Sawmiller

   More road kill deer on the road is a clear sign the economy must be better in your area. :D
