OH HELL YEAH!!! I worked at a vineyard one summer, and we ran deer out of there EVERY morning.....in fact, they are quite a bother in a vineyard.

This last summer, a storm blew a tree down on the edge of our bean field. The tree had grape vine in it with grapes starting to grow. The beans were only up a few inches, and instead of browsing in the bean sprouts, the deer always seemed to head for the grapes. They literally cleaned all the leaves and grapes off of that tree.

OK, another question.( Sorry about the hijack) How long does a vine take to grow? Maybe easier than a foodplot?

they use electric fences around here to keep the deer out of the grape gardens.

I takes them several years to mature, but they can last for 20 or more years.....
