re: How do u keep deer from eating food plots before they get a chance to grow?

we plant our fields early enough that the deer still have plenty of natural food sources before the cold weather kills them.

Around here it seems like no one in our club even starts seeing deer in green field until all the honey suckle and acorns are gone.
although we have one field on our property that is known as turkey field, every yr we have to plant it at least twice b/c turkey have paw it up.

that is just my personal observation not saying i'm dead on.

ok after re-reading that i didn't give you a solution, sorry LOL
