Default RE: Food Plot for when the snow falls.
ORIGINAL: farm hunter

Last - even with considerable winter plots on our place - the deer will absolutely browse the tips of a freshly felled tree - until every last tip is consumed. Some trees are better than others. The other day when I was walking the property - I came across a Hemlock and Maple that came down together in the winds a couple weeks ago. The deer were stripping them bare.

So - if you plan to cut some trees for firewood anyhow, nows the time to get them down if you want to help your wintering herd.

Possibly even better then cutting the trees down, and if possible:
