Who said that about good deeds? Whomever...there is a bit of truth in it. Some years ago I planted a multi-row of trees next to my pasture. Two of those rows are cedars. The purpose of the tree planting was to provide wildlife cover and habitat. It's working. The cedars, which some are now thirty feet tall, are good winter protection. They also have multitude berries on which birds feed. After they feed on the berries they often perch on the pasture fence where they heed nature's call. Cedar trees spout prolifically under the fence which is not helpful to fence maintenance.
Last week the friendly cows who spent the summer in the pasture went home for the winter. (Parenthetical note: the cow's owner says they are so friendly because they're Gelbvieh breed.) Their departure meant that the electric fence is turned off. I'm adverse to being shocked by electric fences. So, a day too windy to hunt was ideal for attacking cedars under the fence. See the picture below. It was a good morning's activity and another blow against gym membership.

Gelbvieh is a cattle breed originating in several Franconian districts of Bavaria, Germany in the mid-eighteenth century. It was originally a triple-purpose breed, used for milk, beef and draught power; the modern Gelbvieh is primarily used for beef production.
