Have not seen any mule deer on the plot itself, although I have seen several of them on a regular basis a couple hundred yards uphill where I established a mineral site.  They have off and on hit the upper feeder as well, but not like the whitetails.

Looks good but do you have a way of irrigating it when things dry out?

Nope...good ol' Mother Nature.  However,  the upper plot in the picture is a mix designed for dry conditons and a wide ph range.  The plots below are a mixture of clover, chickory and a dryland alfalfa.  They too should be ok, but we'll see. :dunno:

Good job!!!  Canada thistle love disturbance, you can handle them.  Look how much the deer use prickly lettuce, they love the stuff this time of year.  If you have any bindweed they will change to it as the prickly lettuce matures.  Nice plots and a good wet, cool spring to help things along.
