they are marking some trees I planted (and that the deer have basically eaten!!). the area in general is a small food plot I made this past year (only .1 ac.). the deer haven't seemed to be eating it much (however, it never really got very high, so maybe they were), but recent pics have shown them eating at the clover and cereal rye. the log pile is the leftover of the trees I cleared and it will serve a a nice blind (you can see the "hole" where I'll be sitting)
