What did you plant and if it was a grain the birds will pick it up unless its drilled, broadcast rates are usually higher than drilled just for that reason, crows here pick a lot of corn that's just emerging as do geese. Winter grains get.hit by all manner of birds including Turkey if not drilled 

Yeah that's exactly what it was, I just didn't anticipate that much loss, but it sat bare no rain for over a week. Next yr I'll be sure to bump up the seed I broadcast.

One of the interesting things I remember when I had the property logged, was people fearing how the activity would spook off the deer. I lost the pic's but one trail cam revealed the skidder passing by in the day and deer passing by at night, less than 12 hrs apart.

The logger who did ours said he's seen deer follow him as he's cutting trees

One of the harsher winters, I worked as a feller. We had 2' if snow and it had been below zero for 2 weeks.. the deer would step  out of the way of the skidder by 10 -30 yds, then get right back on the trail.. they loved us..Making nice open trails through their  woods..1st tree of the day  they would be on the tree top before I had the 2nd tree down ..lol..

Within a week I believe every deer within earshot was in that woods..

Looking darn good!!

Thanks Larry, it's really filling in good. It looks likes it belongs there and has been there. It's amazing the difference since the end of july. Glad I left a few hemlocks and some others standing to give it a little character. And heck the deer seem to be enjoying the heck out of it as much as I am!!

Checked plot and cams for the last time yesterday. Both looked good and now that the plot has been growing for 2 months you can really see a difference inside the utilization fence. I didn't want to leave sent behind but from a distance I'd say the plot was 2-3 taller in the plot, they have been working the plot pretty hard.
