re: Planting 75 sawtooth seedlings today and tomorrow

They might help, but acorns are not year round food. Clover is your answer for year round food. If possible, so some controlled burns. Also, lightly disc roadsides.
We have a few sawtooths on us and right next to us. They just haven’t impressed me. Maybe you’ll get better results.
A match and a bullet are your greatest management tools. Kill some does.

My dad planted a small hay field with them several years ago. The first batch planted in 2007 are close to 40 feet tall. The other side of the field was planted in 09 and they are at least 30 feet. They grow fast and drop early.
The deer frequent them in early fall.

I am not disagreeing with you but do they have any native varieties that start producing quickly?

The most successful hunting properties have food year round, not just during deer season.

Obviously, they are only part of the year round food solution. I have clover and vetch planted now

I plant all kinds of stuff. You shooting deer over your pea patch? It’s about adding stuff wildlife eats no matter the season.

Yeah, that's not even close to true in the southeast unless its in a shaded area during the summer.

Clover is strong for three seasons. During the summer, there’s plenty of native browse. Clover is about as good as you’ll find. It really helps in late winter to carry your deer through.

I have a TON of vetch from our bee guys. Planted in oct and hoping it pays off for turkey season.

Can I ask where one buys bare root oak seedlings these days. Was nice when the LA Dept of Agriculture had their seedling sale.

I’ve got 6 in my front yard,put out tons of acorns every year.Problem is , nothing eats them,not even squirrels.
I was talking to a guy one day that had quite a few planted on the far edge of a pasture behind his house.He said it took 20 years before the deer stated eating them.

I know which sale you are talking about, and it's not really a charity. It's done as a public service, but puts alittle bit of money back into the entity for other public services/projects.

Interesting comments on overrated trees
Not at all surprising, though. The same could be said for many aspects of whitetail management, like hinge cutting, edge feathering, and food plots. There's no such thing as a magic bullet when it comes to deer management, but it seems like different species and management techniques get treated as such from time to time. They get overdone.

Well, my uncle planted a bunch next to us about 7 years ago and the deer hammer them in October every year. Good food source. I don’t give a shite what some dude in Ohio thinks about oak trees in the loess soils of Woodville

I hear you, but that guy you’re talking about has a lucrative land consulting business and planted trees for twenty years. He helps himself and clients kill 200” bucks.
One thing Don Higgins stresses is to have sanctuary. Many Southern properties have sanctuary due to cutovers, etc. But also have constant activity during deer season putting scent in the woods.

Dumb question maybe but why would new guys have a ton of vetch?
Posted on 2/12/23 at 5:15 pm to Royalfisher
Haha our bee guys gave us a bunch of sacks
