Glad they look far enough apart and glad I posted the question. I guess it wasn’t a stupid question

Thanks! I didn’t want to cut them!

Ok I like that idea!

What do you mean exactly?

thanks guys. Here’s a pic of 3 big ones and the smallest 4th on the right. If I had to, I’m thinking I’d leave the biggest on the left, cut the 2 middle out and allow the small one on the right to grow. I think in reality I’m gonna keep dropping trees away from the oaks and keep procrastinating...

We have like 70% poplar, the rest is mix of maple, ash, elm, so the oaks are sacred. Roughly 5 big old ones and maybe 10 around 20 -30 year olds. Some are close together, like 5-10 feet. I just can’t bring myself to cut them to make room for another. Am I shooting myself in the foot doing this?

Cool! American chestnuts?

If anybody has advice on what to do with property, I’m trying manage it for deer hunting simultaneously run cattle/sheep on it. The livestock get moved almost daily & don’t return to the same area for at least 35 days. Almost the entire 160 gets grazed minus wooded area in the NE portion that is...

Nice technique thanks

Yeah I wonder if anybody is farther north than me. I was reading a bit and it was saying ventilation is good but the severe cold/wind protection is lacking.

Thanks
