Why I hate cedar

I love junipers. They provide a ton of cover for the animals. I know they don't provide any food and they reduce the grass in the area, but if that is the only cover you have, you need them.
There is some land just south of I-20 on 283 that had all the junipers cleared recenlty. Now it is a dirt field. There are so few trees left that no wild animals will be there.

That area is a great example. The line of cedars in the foreground creates a break that that is probably 50-75 yards deep and 1/3-1/2 mile wide. Inside that break we have cleared smaller areas. After that break is some more area that we have cleared down to a protein feeder that is surrounded by cedar for cover. From the feeder to the break pictured is enough cedar to provide cover and a sense of safety for the deer to get in and out.Last edited by JeffJ; 04-16-2014, 08:49 AM.

I hate Cedar too! Until I sold my small ranch, it was a constant battle trying to clear areas that had been "choked" out by this blasted tree. I could not afford paying someone with a dozer to clear them out, then got too old to last very long with my saw. Oh well, God put them here for some reason.
