Are Deer Munching Your Landscaping?

2 years ago I planted about 2 dozen red and white pine trees around my yard.  The were great look trees.  That winter was pretty brutal and the deer were puched into the area big time by marauding packs of coyotes.

We had big bucks cruising around our yard even in the middle of the day.  Many were monster bucks that would spar in the afternoon.  At night though, they would munch on my poor pine trees!  Not the red pines though.  They didn't touch the reds, but the white pines must taste like candy to them because they munched them like mad.

So the moral of this story is if you live in deer country and plant pines you might wanna go with reds or at least plan on guarding the white pines from the deer in some manner.
