I planted four food plots (about 2 acres per plot)with Tecomate lablabs about two weeks ago and the deer are hammering them. Can the lablab take this kind of punishment and still keep coming back? I hope there will still be a good stand Sept. 30th for bow season.

My experience here in Texas is no. I have only planted it a couple of times, and the deer didn't touch it until it was leafed out. BUT, when they did hit it, they defoliated it almost over night. I have a couple of buddies that have had the same experience as well. Good luck in Sept.
