To be honest, if they were about ready, say in october, its more than likely your plants were not eaten by deer, deer dont eat very much during the rut (their mating season.) They eat a lot before and right after. Someone probably just took your shit in a hurry. I have had deer eat shit in veg, but never when they were flowering. They tend to stick to what is naturally available. Even if you are going to set up a food plot when hunting, you want to use things locally available, just you make them more readily available than what they naturally are. Its in their nature to go to what they know. Unless the deer around there are used to eating cannabis, its unlikely they ate it when its covered in fully mature buds. Not saying it didnt happen or is impossible, just unlikely. I hunt, and have had plants in areas I know are riddled with deer. But with all of the acorns, wheat, corn, soy beans, persimmons, blackberrys, morning glories, all that good shit around, its damn near impossible to get them to eat anything else. Believe me I have tried. I have bought stuff, seeds for food plots, different "baits" such as apple corn, or Feeder Fire, and they would rather go to a pile of acorns or a patch of soybeans. Funny creates they are. A great challenge, my state is known for especially finicky deer. They jump at anything and bolt. Anyway, got into a rant there, I miss hunting, but my health issues (and money issues) keep me from doing that much any more. Always felt one with nature sitting in the middle of a woods all alone, me vs the white tail. Whose senses and skill will over come the others. Usually they win. But just being out there is satisfying, the time alone to sit and reflect on things. I only ever killed 1 deer and I felt very privileged to be able to do so. I felt like it was a gift to me from nature, to feed my family. The way it worked out, the circumstance of the morning, seemed like it was laid out for me and was supposed to happen. Ha, ranted again. See, I miss that shit. Anyway, sucks about your stuff getting ripped Country, it happens to the best of us. I had a 12 footer chopped in half one year, looked behind my shed and saw no bush leaning over top and my heart sank. I know how you feel. At least you got something, but its still a kick in the balls. I wish I had some outdoor ladies, but with moving and what not, I didnt have the opportunity to get something going properly so I didnt try at all. If I cant do it right, I wont even try. To me I have to be able to at least water 2-3 times a week outdoors at times, have a secure area, to grow and harvest, and I couldnt meet all of those requirements so I skipped this year for outdoor. Which is upsetting, I have my indoor, but lets face it, its not grown under the sun, and no indoor light on the market can produce what the sun can do. I have tried comparisons with clones from the same plants, and the outdoor always comes out more potent. Not always as pretty, but when it comes to cannabis, looks dont mean shit to me, its the effect, especially how it works on my nausea, insomnia, and just plain being crazyness. Im sure others have their own opinions, but to be honest a lot of people dont give their outdoor crops the proper attention they need, like being outside they should grow almost on their own or something. Completely opposite, they need more love, more water, more food, they are bigger plants (if not you did something VERY wrong). Damn I wish I had a couple 7 foot indica bitches outdoors right now, hybrids 9-12ft, sativas (I dont even try to grow anymore, dont finish here) 10ft to watch the fuck out. Thats about what they get here without any preveg. I have never prevegged, so I could only imagine the monsters I would have if I did. Sigh..... its a little after midnight so its day 47 of 12/12 for me in my tent, so close yet so far. I think I will shut the fuck up now. Just bored as hell. Take care Club 600.
