[QUOTE="remm, post: 172435, member: 821"] Deer around my house will rub/eat/bust the hell out of pine trees. I have to put cages around them and even then they sometimes knock the cages over to get to the tree. I planted some ponderosas a few years ago but the bastards would knock the cage over and uproot the trees. Seem to do that more with the ponderosas than with the spruce, however they've uprooted a few small spruce as well. Last winter one buck must have really been pissed as he broke an 8' tall black hills spruce off in half so now I have 3' tall spruce tree that is about 4-5' in diameter. Frustrating, makes me wonder why I keep planting trees sometimes. I usually just order 25-30 spruce from the conservation office every year, they are bare root and generally are 18-24'' trees. I haven't seen anything larger than that from them. I do know that if you want to start with bigger trees, they get pretty expensive. I think the 5-6' spruce trees around here are gonna run you about $120 a piece. When one of those don't make it, it hurts a little more than a few $4 conservation ones. [/QUOTE]
