They (the deer) are working around the edges of our sunflowers pretty bad. Many farmers are saying the deer are eating the seedling cotton plants worse this year than ever before. I spent a day early this week putting up scarecrows (scaredeer, actually) around cotton and peanut fields. So far, my son and I have put up between forty and fifty, and need more. It is really bad, and these inept people that decide how many deer the hunters get to kill each season in GA are now talking about cutting the number of doe days by somewhere between 19 and 25. Why, because "hunters", and I use that term loosely, said they didn't see nearly as many deer last season. Makes me want to throw up my hands sometimes. I'll be calling the DNR to get depredation permits very soon, as I have to do every year.
I'll try to get by the field and get some up to date pictures soon to show the progress, and the deer damage. They should be really growing after that 6.5" of rain we got last week.
