jwalker.......We had about 4 acres planted in that area. Our deer really didn't browse it too much. Maybe because it was the first time we had planted it...not sure? We did plant it at a pretty high rate and it was THICK, to the point we felt like we needed to hog lanes in it. It was cool to see the deer use the lanes we cut. Planted it on 6/15.
