No one has ever seen that commercial for "Gallager Gap" or something like that?

X2 The electric fence is laid differently to be effective against deer, but it works the best. See the link I provided in the thread that Dan posted the link to (it's Gallagher a GRFox 8-) ).

X2 It lasts longer than Milogranite, but it dose have to be retreated every 2-3 months if I remember right.

Tell him if the deer smoke his peas n beans to go back in about now or next week and broadcast a mixture of purple top turnips, dwarf esox rape, and winter rye over the beans. A good rain will make lots of extra goodies for late fall. If you can get a food plot with grain = beans + green = brassicas/rye late into fall it is the absolute best available food plot around IMO. Fert and fencing options are expensive and a pain... I find this solution more effective and less time consuming
