RE: Update - Corn as winter plot in NY (pics)
Farmhunter,
Is it possible, or maybe you already do, to make some rotational clearcuts in and around your thermal cover to allow for multiple ages of browse to be available throughout the winter time? In some of the deer yards around here, they have taken old-age cedar that produces great thermal cover, but little food, and made clearcut strips through it to keep thermal cover, but provide food throughout the entire winter.
They don't do it around here, but you can fertalize the strips to double the nutritional value and growth to provide great winter browse.
Great pictures, and I'm looking forward to the corn "how-to" comments!
