We use shell corn in the summer. It really draws the deer in and you can quit using it before the season and let the deer clean it up so baiting is not an issue as with minerals.
We have received the bids on our trees and I thought it might be interesting to some to see what the results were. We sold a total of 469 trees with board feet estimated on the stump by the forester we used.
White oak: 378 ---- 66,755 board feet
Burr oak: 4 ---- 450...
We are planning on trying to make a deal with the winning bidder to take all ash trees they want and pay us extra for them. We have emerald ash borer in our timber and will lose them all in a few years. We measured one ash tree 34" diameter 2 logs long.
We just marked trees for sale and sent out bids today. Used a forester to help pick trees and measure them. He said white oak and walnut are strong but red oak way down and not advisable to sell reds at this time.
