pic's and what kind of plants did you plant? Also did you have the soil tested? you should have also put up small fenced areas to see how hard they are hitting your plot..... More info is needed.

It sounds like the plot is doing what it's supposed to do... bring in the deer. The plot is so appetizing to the deer that they simply cannot get enough of it. That's a great thing.

Keep them away for a few days- put down some nylon netting- nylon doesn't chew so well. After a week-10 days roll it up before the plants grow thru it. Start shooting. Sounds like you have a giant scrape

If the area is overpopulated and the habitat has been hammered then there is little natural food for the deer and they will destroy a food plot. Shoot some of the does if there is an overpopulation problem.

Any time you turn soil or rough up the groung the deer will come to investigate. They will not bother it til it starts to grow. Then you will have fun.
