re: Planting spring/summer food plots

You have to fence small food plots for any type of spring/summer production.
If they really want in there they will just hop the fence. Deer can jump 10 ft flat footed. The biggest thing I noticed is that the deer didn't even touch the other stuff in the mix, which tells me it was more of a "want to" than a "need to." If you're in a colder climate then I'm sure spring/summer plots are worth fooling with, but down here there's just too much browse for the deer to care. If you really want to keep them in the area just give them a treat.

While this may be true, you can still fence deer out of a summer food plot. Try using a 3 dimensional electric fence ( 2 inner strands and 1 outer). This can be expensive and time consuming obviously, but it works if you are set on planting summer plots.
