Was looking forward to seeing your progress on that Hortontoter. Looks like it's working as you had hoped!! That really is a great idea to help persuade deer your way and sometimes it doesn't have to be 20 ft high to get it done. I have one stand that I really need to get something like this done. Had been thinking of dropping a few trees but in the meantime maybe I should look at a simple pile of brush or two to get the job done. Excellent job!
We did hinge cut two small trees during this project. Most of the brush came from a large oak that had fallen two years ago. My neighbor cut the bulk of the tree up for firewood and had left most of the top. We cut the limbs from the top in large long pieces and drug them to place them between existing trees to create the fence. I had planned to use metal fencing, but I like the natural look much better. And if the idea is a flop it can just decay over time.
I may be opinionated...but, my opinion is the only one that matters anyway.
OK I don't know if this is anything you would do, or be willing to try, but a big dairy farmer near me told me this YRS ago, never tried it
But he says if you place a few old tires laying down deer will not jump over or walk over them, the hole in the middle confuses them and thus they will always go around them? unless really being pushed and themn they will of course just leap over them
But could be something pretty easy to come by and try if your stacking tree's and brush doesn
t work out in a few spots!
Just a tip I forgot I knew LOL
Looks like its working really well hortontoter, hope it will produce for ya this fall.
no matter the language, everyone understands a punch in the mouth!
