[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 3759239, member: 12277"] The grass I have is about waist high right now and still green. We'll see how well it holds up this Winter. I've never had a solid sage grass stand before to compare to. It's in the center of an bunch of trees so the height of the grass itself is not so critical as it would be if the grass itself were the only cover. Also in favor of deer using it as a bedding area, this 8 acres is practically "unhuntable" except for trying to intercept deer coming/going to it. I'm hoping that over time it will become a sanctuary of sorts. I know that Sage grass is an indicator of acidic soil and the farmer in me feels like I need to lime. However, I've already committed this part of the farm to be converted to wildlife cover and that is drastically different from farming so I'm going to suppress the "farmer" urge. :) [/QUOTE]
