Anyone clover getting eaten already?

[sethf11]

I put in a few micro plots of clover and they are already getting eaten down to nothing. I realize they are small and don't take much to get eaten fast. Just thought it would of held out for 2-3 more weeks until the opener. Here is photos of the plot 4 weeks ago and then again today. Luckily I have a few other plots that haven't gotten hit yet and one right next to this one that is like 2 weeks behind in growth. Hopefully that one holds out for the opener. This should grow back a bit right? Or is there a problem and it not healthy?

There are a good amount of deer tracks in the dirt in and around it.

I'm not sure if it's over eating or lack of sun light or both but it doesn't look promising that it will come back.

A plot that size could not sustain deer nor regrow fast enough even with a minimal deer population.

It's not there to sustain. There is a 40 acre cornfield that is 200 yards away and an 30 acre field of Alfafa 250-300 yards as well. Just thought I would give some micro plots a shot this year back off the fields.

I have a one acre plot with 1/2 acre of clover, 1/4 acre turnips and 1/4 acre sugar beets and bulbs.  They are in the clover all the time.

Maybe it just died. Who knows. See what the camera picks up in the next 2 weeks before the season starts. This is my first attempt at any plots or micro plots. Maybe I just had some higher hopes. Fun nonetheless and I enjoy trying and learning.

Not yet in my clover or anything else yet but they are new. Just some prints going through the plots. The longer they wait the better closer to opening day

Yes. Every day. They are keeping it mowed down nice
