Planted some bows?

Yup, I gotta see what they look like someday.

Clint, so far they are leaving them alone. When I plant trees I just stick round point shovel straight up in ground. Then I open the slit just a little by pulling and pushing handle. Just stick Roots in slit and squeeze slit closed by pressing slideways on both sides of slit. The minimum disturbance really helps. If you dig to much dirt up everything in the woods will either eat it, or dig it up. My deer might not even know they  are supposed to like em yet.lol.

A little update for Ed and anyone else interested. I checked on my Osage transplants and they look great. So far the deer haven't figured out they're supposed to like them. They got lots of other stuff to eat now.
Thanks Ed

PEARL DRUMS:
Put some cages around them the first several years. That will keep the critters away.

Eric Krewson:
Those tree tubes work well and increase the grow rate to about double. Seems like they will make your saplings grow straight up as well.

I got a surprise the other day when I spotted a tree tube in a local native plant garden that I hadn't noticed before. I walked over to look at it and the tube had a sticker from the American Chestnut Foundation. It was one of the 95% American Chestnut hybrids the foundation has been working on for so many years. A while back I thought about buying some nuts to plant but they sell for $100 each.   

BowEd:
Looks good Brian.Ours are doing good here too.Every year is'nt the same in growing rate if mother nature alone does the work but the older it gets the more abuse it can handle and still survive.
I saw a deer browsing on multiflora rose the other day.
