Christmas trees as cover?

Hey why not it’s a good idea.

They will work great. Also make a great brush plies in lakes for bass and crappie

I always thought about hanging them upside down behind my hang on stands to break up your outline. Never did though....

My bass club will be doing this soon at Assunpink with trees donated by Hightstown Public Works if anyone is interested in helping out!

I have an artificial one to donate to anyone that wants, or it's going to the dump.  Far NW NJ.

Just don't light it on fire.  Nothing burns faster than a dried Christmas tree!

Yes, use them for natural cover!  Fantastic free idea!

One of the guys in our club sells Christmas trees. At the end of the season he disburses the leftovers in our semi-wild hunting area. Much need cover late in the season.

My grandparents have a christmas tree farm and I use the left over precut ones to brush my blinds in the following hunting year. No needles but plenty of branch cover. Other then on that property I never brush in my blinds, I set them up in august and by september the deer are used to them. I only do it at that property because I hunt where the dead tree pile is.

Tried to load this video when this post was running, but ran into problems. Here is the video clip I called "Green Needles"

In times of cold on snow covered ground the deer will browse on just about anything green including the pine needles.It seems they home in on the color. An old timer once told me that wearing anything with green in winter will have deer thinking you are something to eat and will most likely pick you out and bust you

I used to clip some branches and stick them in my climber tin strategic places.  Worked as a cover scent and break up any outlines, then just left them hanging on a hook for next time.
