My experience is that bucks like to push does in estrous into standing corn or switch to try to hide them from rival bucks. They also like waterways and fencerows for that.
I never got fruit like previous pictures in this thread and I had many apple trees nearby that the deer sought out. I planted a couple of apple trees away from the yard and the deer hit those. I won’t be planting more paw paws but that is just my bias.

They suckered hard for me (way down yonder in the paw paw patch?) and you need more than one for pollination. Didn't figure you'd only plant one but without knowing the sex, probably need to overkill the numbers to be sure.
I had two up in the farmyard and they didn't live very long, might be a short lifespan on them? I have a friend who struggled with them in his yard as well.
The hazelnut bush close to mine got browsed into the mushroom shape.
I saw a newer New Holland tractor with a rear mounted “boom” mower for sale just south of the Kirkwood campus south of CR last Sunday. I’ve seen countles use these for brush in ditches. I thought it would be great for mowing the face of our dam, but too much cash for such limited use.

While an Exmark employee was dropping off a mower for us to test, he got a call from another demo customer who put that one in a pond. LOL Don’t recommend an Exmark for that application, though very happy with it for our use.

Going on a parts run the other day, I rounded a corner and the corn field on the inside of the curve was heavily browsed by deer coming off the river bottom on the other side of the road. Damage was significant but not as bad as I think your pictures show.
Deer or coons? Deer eat the tassle...
I was wearing ear:eek:muffs. Could feel a different vibration as well. Started to smell something hot. Sensory overload. ;)
If it wasn't for the garden and orchard, I'd let the horses and cows out on the yard.

I totally support the use of these though some feel it is too tempting and is entrapment. Take their vehicle, their weapons and impose a stiff fine.
Have a small pocket of cover out in the open, up on a hill with a view of the surrounding area. Hope he gets comfortable there and good luck figuring out where to hunt him.
I read through before the pics were visible and so glad that has been fixed.
I like the idea of being off the ground in that truck set up.
Planning on doing more trout fishing soon, both spin and fly.
Thanks for sharing!
I would think the amount of rain locally says it should be a bad year for EHD, but I know of a leaking pond that will have a mud bank if it stops raining.
