My brother-in-law chainsawing down mostly garbage pine trees in front of his tree stand. I forgot to shoot video after. Basically you could only see 20 feet by 20 feet in front of his stand, after we were done you could see about 30 ft wide by 120 feet deep. This winter the fallen trees should add more of a food source for the deer as well(bark, twigs, etc). In spring we will plant a couple apple & crab apple trees, stay tuned.
I was thinking about possibly planting some ever-bearing cold hearty pear trees in spring as well, the only thing with that is I'd have to prune then quite often to stop branch breakage. Do you think it's worth it? Let me know.
