I gave up growing corn for this reason. The first year I had a very nice 3 acre patch that made really well and the deer wouldn't eat it in the early season. They had never seen any growing in a field before and didn't seem to know how to eat it. It was February before the cleaned it up. The next year they were familiar with it and cleaned the field before Christmas. The next year it was completely gone by October 15, so I gave up growing it.

But I waited about 5 years until all those deer were dead and was able to grow it a couple of years and have at last a decent length of time.

Nice pics, OP.
