New shelter

Here's the new shelter we put up this weekend as an experiment. It offers an additional place from which to feed the deer hay, keeping it dry and possible shelter from the winds. It's 20 feet long we left south and north ends open. The north end faces the barn which provides some protection from the north wind. So far, the bucks seem to appreciate it and haven't shown any signs of tearing at the sides. We shall see.

We are trying to find a solar or wind solution to keeping the water troughs from freezing this winter. If you have any suggestions, please make some.
