Thanks Greg. The deer here are very well fed, thanks to all the alfalfa that is grown by the neighbors, so maybe they would survive. I've never seen a raccoon or possum! I feel so bad for the neighbors that raise cattle, because they can barely keep them fed in the winter, thanks to the deer. We're putting in a bird food plot in one of our pastures, and I'm sure that the deer will eat it down to nothing. If it takes some pressure off of the alfalfa, that will be fine with us. I just won't plant any semps where they can get to them, until I've got some spares in a safe spot!
