[QUOTE="Crosshairy, post: 2549800, member: 3202"] President's Island is covered with those (and very few oaks). That was the strangest thing about that place when i was there - how little "traditional" browse there was. I spoke to several wardens on the check-in station for the antlerless hunts that said the deer eat them a lot. I always wondered whether that was a second-rate food they were forced to eat, or if they would go after them preferentially. I guess they turn into a first-rate food for parts of the year, based on comments above. There are none where I hunt, but I wish there were a few around. The way I see it, they offer a diverse type of food source. You never know when something weird will happen and other food sources might be hit hard and have poor mast crops. Those trees provide you with a different type of food that provides variety, and a chance that you'll find them useful later. [/QUOTE]
