Treesparrow I BTDT when I had more acreage. PGC issued fruit trees to land owners that opened their land for recreational hunting.
If I did get a tree to get past being girdled by rodents during heavy snow, chewed off by deer in the winter, dying from lack of rain or, destroyed by a buck the next fall, I never got any fruit from the tree. But, I never planted anywhere near as many trees as you have; geez that's a lot of work.
Now, I stick with a few Pin Oaks here or a Willow there (which get wiped out by blight) or maybe a pine or two a year........ Done.
Never a weird post when your talking conservation accomplishments, good luck this year with your project.

Ummm Marco, do I understand you have "no clue" as to the recommendations you make regarding fishing? I find that hard to believe since, I purchased all that new fishing equipment you recommended!!!!!!!
Now he tells me.
Happy to hear your going to make it to the lake this weekend. I wish you well and may you enjoy tight lines.
