You boys need to get out and farm a bit...We sell our peanuts to Planters Peanuts...Everything eats peanuts, deer, bears, turkeys, ducks, crows and coons...Deer not only eat the nuts, they eat the vines and leaves as well...Peanut vines have as much protein as alfalfa...
A bear can really tear up a peanut field, they sit on their butt and dig the vines and nuts up with their claws and have a feast...Then they scoot forward and do it again...

Did I mention they are roasted and salted? Not exactly natural. And we live in the north where peanuts do not grow.
I put them in my yard where we don't hunt. Just for trail camera purposes. We'll see if the deer eat them. They might have to get use to them first.
