Seems like it never stops for me, except for when I take a break from the intrusive part of it around July to keep the deer content. There are other less intrusive things I can do after July but it pretty much all stops about Mid-October until deer season is over. I've got three different hedge rows I'm creating with various shrubs and a few hardwoods. I'm planting 500 shrubs/trees in January, 500 in February, and 600 in March. Been doing site prep on this one "drainage area" for a full year, cutting and hauling out trash trees like Poplars, Sweet Gums, Maples, Ash, etc and a few others that are on my less than desirable list for deer. I planted 500 trees this Spring and it liked to kill me so I figure 1,600 over the next three months should be a piece of cake :shock: .
