What are the best screening trees to grow in swampy areas? Need to find a solution for screening from the road

That sounds like a good plan. Do you keep your honey locust trees or girdle?

What kind of oaks and where do you get them?

When u say thicket are you saying I should cut the osage to create thicket?

I have a row of cedars along access route that's flanked with 2 year old miscanthus grass and every time I walk to blind I feel I'm spooking deer walking to stand bc stand sightings are going down quickly. The stand or blind over looks food plot on east side of property. Yesterday I was doing...

I have areas in my woods that I'm trying to create bedding areas and thicken up and it's overtaken with osage orange trees ,locusts and honey suckle. Should a guy hinge osage orange for bedding side cover and girdle locusts? What's the best way to make this a desirable bedding area?

Who has chestnuts they will sell this spring?

PLanning on going in Planning on going in to spray it in spring in bedding areas to hopefully get more oak regen

Good point. I usually only hunt during prime time since it's like 50 yds from bedding area.

Lots of honey suckle that's growing as a result of cutting cedars that were losing lower limbs. It may be invasive but good cover on fringes. Planning to add conifers so there's winter screening as well. Amazing what happens when you open the canopy:)

@Sligh1 whats your thoughts on the thickness of my access routes?

@IowaBowHunter1983. Here are the pics I took of property border and access to treestands. You can see cut path. I had to cut lots of canopy to make this thick do neighbors couldn't see in but now you can see in. Any suggests to optimize access alignment fence? Is this too thick or need it...

You can see red line is my property boundaries and gray is road to south and yellow dotted line on east is the access I'm working on improving. Thought if I improved property borders and access I could hunt farther back in property during prime time

Will do. Thanks

How do you pull them back to property ? Not sure my f150 would pull that lol

I'm looking at putting a blind on a trailer 10 to 12 feet

Working on building a mobile blind trailer and trying to figure out the right size of trailer to buy to put stand and blind on so it's stable. Would a 5x8 trailer with Jack's on 4 corners be stable enough or do I need a bigger trailer like 6x10 or something? Going to be moving it around...

@Hardwood11 what would you do in my situation?

That's why I cut the property like I did. All the atv's and nature walkers are messing up the hunting and I want a thick place for the deer to duck into and feel secure when they are bumped allways deeming my place as a "sanctuary". Also lots of gun hunters that snipe deer on my lines I want to...
