I am planning on putting in a cedar row in the middle of one of my plots. The plot is 170 yards by 100 yards. The yellow line are cedars rows planted last year. The white line is where I plan on putting the new cedar row. I initially planted hybrid willow on both lines but the deer kept them browsed to the ground. Since they don'e eat red cedar on my place I put cedar in the yellow line and am planning to put cedars in the white line.
My reasoning is for further divided it up and make bucks move around the plot more to check does and to give a even more protected feeling to the deer.
The triangle you see to the ne is clover/chicory. The rest is beans this year and will be again next year. I have 4 pear and 4 persimmons planted along the clover/bean boundary and have 4 pear planted to the n of the white line and run parallel to it approx 20 yards away. One can see a white speck. That is a water bucket along the cage of one of the pears. At the start of the white line at the west end there are 2 more persimmons. The timber edge to the west has been hinged and feathered.
Currently one can sit in the blind(the Hilton) and watch many doe and fawns come into the field from sw going clock wise to east and the bucks enter either from the nw corner or the ne corner
