Gil,
They will eat around the edges some, but so far we have not had to replant them because of deer. It is surprising, because they are really bad in this area. I rigged up some scarecrows last year in some peanut fields that worked good. You just have to move them around occasionally. I made them out of 1/2" PVC pipe and used some of my old shirts on them. The wind spins them round and round and spooks the deer pretty good.

Sounds like a fairly simple fix Stan, for the deer problem. Who'd have thought scarecrows would do the trick! Sure beats fencing a good sized area.

Stan, great idea! But your post is missing a couple of very important details. 1) the exact location of the field and 2) the time we need to meet for your opening day shoot!!!!!  Looking forward to seeing the field grow! Adam

Great stuff Stan! Sorry you couldn't make the Southern SxS. But it was good to talk with Adam S. and John R. there. Look forward to seeing the field progress over the summer.

Thanks, Matt. I'll see you at the Fall Classic at Rick's, things just didn't work out for the Southern. Sorry I missed it.
My intentions are to get the planter rollin' tomorrow. If it happens, pics tomorrow night.

It's the 13th-15th, John, and I am just agrinnin' about it. That puts it between corn and peanut picking. I'll be there for three days this time. Only bad thing about it is that I'll miss a Saturday dove shoot. Ah, torn between two lovers........... I'm all bummed out right now, and needed some good news. Looks as if I'll have to miss the U.S. Open at Rick's next week. We have had so much rain this spring that everyone is behind with land preparation for peanuts and cotton, and I'm gonna have to keep my butt in a tractor seat. I was thinking to drive over for one day and shoot the S x S, but according to the web site all rotations are full already!!  SRH

Got my days off a little there, Stan, but I bet Rick would work you in somehow if you call him now and tell him your situation.
I was afraid the wet ground was causing you headaches with your planting, based on our last phone conversation. As my old turkey hunting mentor Wallace Lowry used to say, "son, there's always something to take the pleasure out of life."

Called Lois Lessing (winscore), who is handling the registration and scoring, and she got us in to shoot the S x S at 11 a.m. next Tuesday morning. Better to be lucky than smart!
