Default Deer and other pests

Well...if the deer eat the garden...just eat the deer. They keep well in the
freezer. Sounds like a fair trade to me.
It's kinda the "law of the land" down heah' in Dixie.

I live in zone 5b near the Illinois/Indiana border--the whitetail deer
here are prolific, and I was wondering if the deer will eat the foliage
of the watermelon and muskmelon plants that I am about to transplant
into a garden plot. The garden plot is on a farm in a spot that was in
field corn the previous year. I know I might need to watch out for
cucumber beetles, but wan't sure about the deer.

thanks,
