Can’t feed the deer where I’m at in Wisconsin so when it gets really cold I drop a few birch trees for firewood and easy browse.

Forever in debt to my Father who introduced me to trapping.
May I be half the man he was.

Birds will use grit IF they can find it. If not they make it through the times of deep snow just fine. Mother nature takes care of her critters just fine.

For the deer when I lived in MI the DNR paid me to clear cut small areas near known deer yards everything that was around 3 inches at chest hight or larger was cut except for any food type trees they were safe. Then after winter I could get a firewood permit and get some of the mess cleaned up.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Well they got 40 pounds of scratch grains and 40 pounds of cheap bird seed the rabbits and pheasants will eat well until they need more so it’s a win win. Lucky our raptors are thinned out we had dozens now we have a handful .

That is interesting!!! Lol

Turkeys aren't here this winter on my place anyway. I suppose they are bunched up getting food from where ranchers are feeding cattle. I usually have a dozen or better hanging around all winter. A lot of other birds and unbelievable amount of robins.


Give me a fish, I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish, I will eat for a lifetime
