Yeah lots of people on here seem to have problems with deer but ive never had a single issue. I have found them wandering around crops dozens of times and never once did I notice a bud or even a leaf missing. Some states must have some rabid-ass-wild-weed-eating deer I guess. Now wood rats are another issue...if you think its bad when a deer snags some foliage, imagine how much it would suck to walk up and see an 8 foot plant lying completely on its side because a wood rat chewed the 4" stalk straight through like a damn beaver.
