I ordered the chinkapin oaks from the Texas Forestry Site. They probably wont ship til Feb.
I choose virginia pines for the screen because cedars were way more expensive and they suck up alot more water than pines. Virginia pines also make great christmas trees so we will have some ready in 4 years. They are a lower growing thicker variety than loblolly or long leaf. They really fill in nicely for a screen.
We got about 150 in today before I had to leave for my sons basketball game. Will keep the rest in the fridge until we can plant again.
I have 37acres and only one plot. The theory behind it is to get the deer feeding in one central location instead of a main plot and a kill plot. Somewhere they know food will be available pretty much year round.
As long as it is secluded and screened from view....you will see more deer during daylight hours.
This is my second year to have a plot in this location and the activity this year was much better than last year.
I'm trying to screen it better so I can get in and out easier when hunting without getting busted. I try to hunt just off the plot and not right on it....although I do have some stands on it that I hunt with a good wind.
