[QUOTE="Allen, post: 357824, member: 389"] To add to WJ's thoughts, if you have been planting trees of flavorful varieties, you already know deer browse the heck out of trees during the late fall through early spring each year 11-12 years ago I lost a cherry tree to a hungry doe and her fawns. Dang tree was a good 4 inches in diameter and 10 ft tall, she took it to the ground by morning. I can't even count how damn many trees I've lost to them over the years, but know it pales in comparison to tree losses of others. Ohio buckeyes, apple, pear, cherry, ash, conifers, are all on the menu for WT deer, to name just a few. The variety of what they eat ensures that they will have something in their stomach when they die. I would tend to agree that shelter is a bigger concern. And some shelter, like dense tree plantings, also provide great browse material. [/QUOTE]
