Don't know what changed at my place this year. Deer have just walked through spring /summer plots and barely touched anything
Only thing I did different this year is mix some black oil (nobody had perodovic) sunflower seed in with the peas
Looks like I will be expanding my plots as they are wearing what I have planted out
Never knew they liked sunflowers so much either. Quick scan while shredding pasture earlier I saw no flowers or leaves, just bare stems. Pea vines still have some leaves on them

How deep did you plant?
Sounds like planted too deep to me or you have a high deer density and they ate them as soon as they came up
I had no idea they would eat mine like they did. But I do have the bare stalks

For those who have been following this thread, my plots in Trinity Co. failed miserably this year. Started out slow, but I got good germination so the only thing I can think is that since this was the second year for spring plots, the deer were ready for me. All I have now is a really good stand of weeds and grasses.
I reached out to elgato and he gave me some ideas to put in effect for not only my kill plot this fall, but the two acre nutrition plot as well. So needless to say, I'll be trying this and see if I can outrun those hungry suckers. Thanks Rusty !
