GOF and Bacall Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 All deer are evil. They eat everything they can get their teeth on, except Japanese barberry. Morristown National Historic Park has 'deer enclosures' in two spots along the trails. Fenced in areas to keep the deer out. It shows what the forest would look like if the deer weren't eating everything except the Japanese barberry. All joking aside the deer aren't evil. They are only doing what deer are built to do.

For my part of that quote it just seemed that civility was headed south. Happens way too often around here, discouraging. Quote Link to comment

According to the Alabama Fish and Wildlife game census the area I will be hunting this week averages 45 deer per acre, yet the forests and farmers get along just fine. Most of the complaints come from suburbanites around the cities with flower gardens! Quote Link to comment

+edscott Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) another forum hiccup... but I can add that they don't like daffodils but love hostas and tulips... There are lists on the web of deer resistant shrubs and flowers.. and there is one spray that works for me if I remember to apply it every couple weeks.

+TheAlabamaRambler Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Good Gawd 45 deer per ACRE???? Should be able to get one with a sharpened stick No doubt! But they are magic. You can't drive around down here without seeing them, cars kill far more than hunters, you can't have a garden without fencing it in, but go sit in the woods with a rifle and they disappear!

+TampaDude Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Those are shooting lanes for deer stands (the white boxes at the center). Quote Link to comment
+Isonzo Karst Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Good Gawd 45 deer per ACRE???? Hmm, 45 deer per acre means each deer is sustained by a patch of ground 31x 31 feet. Seems unlikely? 4.5 deer per acre would be high side believable. On ground with supplemental feeding and special deer friendly management 6.5 deer per acre is considered possible. Tree stands, shooting lanes.... Quote Link to comment

+whistler & co. Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 All the better deer stands in northeast PA are up high. My husband's is about 20' up. Many people build permanent stands on four support legs sunk into cement footers. One guy I know had a little woodstove and an old loveseat in his. When the other guys in the hunting club got mad at him, then used a chainsaw to cut all four legs, then pulled it down with a truck. These things are passed down through families like prime real estate! Quote Link to comment
+andGuest Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Sorry everyone, I looked at the imagery incorrectly. The cache that I said is an overlook is indeed at an overlook. However, it overlooks the valley on the other side of the road. Where the markings are is much higher then the overlook. Quote Link to comment

I was not attempting a hike with a temp of -13 deg F with the wind chill even worse. Maybe when I am back home over the summer I will take a look. The cache Old Robinson Pond on the other side of the mountain on SGL is actually on my to do list. It will add a nice little extra jaunt to see if I can get a look at the "markings".
