Trail Cam: Searching Elsewhere For Dinner


This spring we set up 2 trail cams to show how Plantra Tree Tubes protect seedlings from deer and to provide a time lapse chronicle of the growth of this western Minnesota hedgerow planting. These trees were planted 4 & 5 years ago, but deer had kept them browsed to knee height until we tubed them this spring. In the first week we got this shot (click the photo to enlarge). She's hard to see but a doe is walking into the field behind the tubes... going elsewhere in search of food now that the seedlings are protected!
Stay tuned for more trail cam updates throughout the summer.
