Red cedar if it will grow in your area.

I've heard good things about Red Cedar, anyone know how to start growing it from scratch?

Online you should be able to find some nurseries that you can buy direct from at a better price, or your county forester might be able to help get some. Depends on how many you want. If you just want an acre or so you might be able to ride around some farms and dig up a couple of hundred or so saplings.

let the area grow up in whatever natural to the area or plant in native warm season grasses.

Slackdaddy; are you kidding about bamboo? It's grows like crazy as an orimental but do the deer eat it?

Original question was regarding plantings to provide cover for whitetails, not food source.
