drillin man, you have any trouble with deer and your mellons, i tried some a few years back and the deer would bust em up like crazy
I've never lost a mellon to deer, and we trap year around to get rid of coons ect.., to keep them out of the sweet corn ect... Mice will get into a mellon once in a while, but that's about it.
There's so much feed for deer around here (includeing in the food plots i plant) that keeping them out of the veggies ect.. is no problem at all...
It's the "deer" around here that get ate!!!
