wdswtr Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 Really hard to judge something like that Bubba. I have about a 1 acre plot of mixed soybeans and winter peas. The deer did not start eating the soybeans till they were a foot tall. They are still in there eating them. This was a fall planting. The hard part to judge is your deer population and how fast and how many are utilizing the plot. Here where I have mine the population is low and the most deer I have on camera in the plot is 5 at once and the most that I have seen on camera total in a 24 hour period has been 8. So the 1 acre for that plot is well suited I think as it last quite awhile. Now if I had deer herds in it, not so much lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
