The 40 acre deer refuge 2026

Got fawns ripping around everywhere here. I think my predator control might actually be working.

The deer are eating them as fast as they are sprouting. Lol I need rain in a bad way.

How did your Sunflowers do?

They grew well but the deer ate 99.9% of them. Which is 100% ok. They just ate the tops out of them as fast as they could grow.

That winter rye abruizi grew back in thick and overtook what the deer didn’t eat.
I will say though that I’m certain that those sunflowers provided a lot of nutrition for the deer!
I have 4 does and 5 fawns in my front yard this evening!

the millet grew very well this year. I’m gonna spray it and burn it in a few weeks. Ready for dove season!!!

Sounds like 1 doe had twins. See any with triplets. We planted clover last fall and have 2 does with triplets. Good food sorce makes a huge difference
