Looks great,Excellent growth from week 4!!
I was wondering how the clover/sunflower mix would work out for ya.

Sunflowers are like candy to a deer. Kinda points to the number of deer that you have if you can get them to grow like that.

Looks great!

So far, they aren't hitting it much at all. They seem to not hit the sunflowers until they start to flower. Not sure if it's the smell or what not, but that seems to be the case.

The plot looks great! Are you going to get a cam on it for us all to see some action?

Had a camera on it the last two weeks. Had one doe and tons of bears. I'm starting to believe the bears a becoming a problem in that area, in terms of fawn recruitment and just general habitat for the deer. There is no way deer want to stay in that area when there are 5-6 differnt bears walking around at all times, IMO.

I was on a game land tour the other year where sunflowers had been planted in a plot. Only place there were sunflowers was in the exclusion cage.

Looks great! They'll show up, its a good thing that they aren't there now. Let it grow. Hopefully you get some apples as well and you'll have a honey hole.

Plots looking good!

I have err I mean I had some homegrown Sunflowers I started from seed this year. We replanted them up the cabin 2 weeks ago, they didn't even make a week. HAD 15 plants each about 12" high.
Gone!

Not a problem we deal with in SW Pa, but hopefully you can take care of a piece of the problem come November
