RE: Box elders won't die
 

cut the ones you don't want
leave the tall ones and trim up to a hight of 6'
i did this in my plots and then put in a mock scrape below one
the canopy is tall and the bucks love to walk around and rub like crazy...they also like to munch a little to
i think that is a great set up for hunters....food plots with mock scrapes
put your scrapes out early...sept. i do, hit them 1-2 time a week with pissor whatever you prefere...those deer will catch wind and start to hang around
i did this at my moms boyfriends land and one day he sat there and saw 10 deer come stroll by that scrape and nibble on come food...never seen that meny deer before
