This adult doe is standing beneath a &#8220;dome&#8221; of cover created naturally by an over-arching privet shrub. Deer regularly bed in the shady hideout beneath this shrub, so I set up a trail-camera to get this shot.

		<description><![CDATA[Hinge-cutting refers to chainsawing halfway through a tree at about waist height and pushing the tree over so that it falls but remains connected to the stump through the “hinge” you didn’t cut. The tree survives for a few years, creating ground-level cover for deer; and, if it’s a species deer will browse, like maple, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=qdmworks.wordpress.com&amp;blog=11421439&amp;post=692&amp;subd=qdmworks&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
