What do you anticipate could go wrong from this point? All he needs to do now is hit it with some nitrogen if he hasn’t already and put out some exclusion cages to show how much browsing pressure is taking place. I can go ahead and tell you what it’s gonna look like from having done this for 8 or 9 years now. All of that thatch is gonna continue to degrade and lay down on the soil surface. A month from now all you’ll see is green assuming the deer haven’t eaten it to a nub. That’s why an exclusion cage is important. A lot of times people assume failure when what really has a happened is that its just been eaten up.
