If I hunt the northern part of the farm i dont have to go anywhere near that road but if I want to hunt the south side I have to use that road... or go through the valley in some way which I dont usually do because its loaded with deer . Is the road high enough to act like a berm to block view of your access via the ditch? Or push up a dirt berm? I could but the other side is 2x as steep and its completely loaded with briars. It's also not my property on the other side of the fence |

Feel like driving past it can be a disturbance too. |

When we bought our property in 2009 this was a gravel pit that the loggers had used to take gravel for the inter roads on the property. There was no organic matter. Just very good gravel. White Pine, birch, and maple grew in quickly and we cut it back once so we could view the far end of our food plot. They kept growing faster than we could keep up with so we let them grow. I’m thinking about putting clover and pumpkins down in the pit. If they grow then great.   |

Miscanthus is great stuff from zone 5 south. Chainsaw has had great luck with it. He is officially zone5 because he is close to lake but he geTs a -30 every now and again. |

They didn't put on the kind of growth I saw at my old place, but they were doing "ok". Then we had several winters where we hit the -20s for long stretches with minimal or zero snow cover. That took care of all of them but one. I have a single surviving rhizome from 2012 (or I did going into this winter, we'll see what spring brings). |

I guess I lose track over time as to what type of pine I planted, but Scotch, Norway, White & Ponderosa have all survived. Norway maybe best survival, but Scotch is the toughest tree and maybe the most diverse potential. Do you have any Ponderosas that have gotten to be 8-10' tall yet? I think they are really cool looking pines. I've planted a few hundred here, but none are much over 3' tall. Reading through old thread. I think maybe a half dozen Ponderosa have survived to decent size . Mostly Scotch Pine & Norway for survivors. I’m not the best at identifying the trees. I’ll get a few pics in the next 2-3 weeks. I’m definitely caging all my new trees. |

Looks good Tom ! I found a few pine today that were not caged. They are surviving, but definitely getting hit by the deer are hammering some.  |

I think this is a white pine (destroyed) along with a survivor. I’m surprised it made it . Lots of rubbed up pines! Would I be correct on the ID— white pine?   |
