RE: apples and fruit trees
thank you . i have 40 acers of hay feild and to water wells set aside for this project .it calls for a 10 ft high cain link fenceing and each tree well need 3- 5 gallons of water a day for the hot summer time for the frist 2-3 years , few hunters under stand the values of good feeding aera beyond the food plots . i see far more rubs than any where else in this aera .un like most full size apple and fruit trees these are a better bit size for deer ,lol .the trees are for the most part in two groups shorter small apple and crab apple and the very small fruited oranmental trees that stand taller than the other apple & crab apple .yet produce hunderds apone hunderds of fruit ..unlike food plots deer feed year round in these feed areas ...i have recorded deer comeing from as far as 5 miles away to feed here .often most old home steads have trees yet few under stand those trees lack the favorites of the deer ...they may have been great for humans but deer often eat them as a last resort.....for the lack of a true feed area ...i have seen some old bucks come in the orcherds early in the morning to feed, get a little buzz drunk and rise hell ... if you like hunting the big bucks plant this type of feed area .and watch the trees grow as fast and your deer herd ...
