[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5119772, member: 17"] Go take a look at a recent clear-cut or heavy thinning. Within the first year you'll find stumps with a dozen or more sprouts coming up off the rim, and most of them will show heavy browsing, depending upon the species. Unfortunately, deer seem to like the white oak stump sprouts the best, with red oak second. They rarely touch the poplar, and almost never touch the hickory, elm, sourwood and sweetgum stump sprouts. This can lead to a real problem. If food sources are limited, and the timber harvest area small, deer will eat away all the oak stump sprouts but leave the popular, elm, and sourwood alone, allowing only those species to mature. You may cut an oak forest but get back only a poplar/elm/sourwood forest in return. [/QUOTE]
