You have to have deer on your property to have deer on your property.

The best thing to do with it is to have a professional logging company come in and cut it all out. Maybe they could get you a couple of dollars for it for pulpwood if nothing else is of any value.

Have them cut it to the ground and throw it in the chipper and haul it away.

Then you could plant Christmas trees or make it into a food plot where you could plant Whitetail Clover or some other crop, which would attract the deer to your place.

Just letting it grow back into a brush pile is of no benefit to the wildlife. Sooner or later it will grow back and not be of any more use to you than what it is right now.

Most Christmas tree farmers that I know of complains of all the deer damage that they encounter from the bucks rubbing their antlers in the pine tree's.

The first couple of years, you can hunt rabbits and after that the deer will take over and when it matures - you can either sell the trees or let it grow and sell the timber.

They were selling Christmas trees on the lot the other day for $50 each!

Not bad for a $1 seedling and 15 years of trimming.
