The farmers in the area I hunt plant peanuts fairly often and I've only seen deer in them on a couple of occasions. Like someone else said, they seem to like them better after they have been turned up and harvested. I had an uncle in Chilton county however, that planted peanuts and the deer loved them. Everything my uncle planted though, had deer problems. The deer and coyotes loved to paw his watermelons apart and eat the centers and don't even mention a deer if Uncle Bill was thinking about his pea patch.
