I currently plant between 5-8 acres of food plots in Houston county during the fall and then again in the spring/summer. My fall plots work just fine, but in the summer I get great germination and growth, but can't keep the deer off them long enough for the plants to mature and maintain growth after initial grazing. I plant iron/clay peas mixed with sunflowers and occasional lab lab. I am debating about doing the standard planting, but then e-fencing to try to establish a mature stand that can withstand grazing. But, I am also considering trying Eagle forage soybeans based on comments I have seen here and other sites.
Who has e-fenced their food plots and how did it work out? What did you learn afterward that you wished you had known before you started? Do you think its worth the effort to string the wire, etc after its all over?
Thanks for the input.
