Default RE: Keeping deer out of a newly planted plot?

Some of these comments about 1 acre feeding only 3 deer per year may be the situation where there is little or no other forage. On my land there is a variety of other forage and the deer seem to feed a great deal on various greens, Honeysuckle, Cat Claws, various grasses, etc. My clover don't see much use when these other plants are in their green, tender stage, and when the acorns drop, forget that clover. 25 deer in my hayfield the other day. In My Clover? No. On the other side of the field, eating grasses and other rouffage. I'm not sure, but I think they might have been eating the wild onions. Deer are just like us, they like variety. (Now, if I could only grow a plot of nothing but mushrooms.)
