Another bad day in the lower area of the property where I had one last AG plant growing. The deer made a meal out of the last giant I had going, they ate about half of a volleyball size pumpkin off of the 1818 Bryson, along with all the secondaries. The good news is the 7ft deer netting surrounding the 119 Starr field pumpkin has been left untouched. Just in case they manage to get through that, I have the plant surrounded with more deer netting. A physical barrier they can't get through is the only way to keep these jackwagons off of my plants. Forget the scent repellants and fishing line. Just make it so they can't get to what want........Lessons learn in deer control for next year.
