digdug,
That is definately true of Southern Middle TN area.
I have not seen it this bad since the summer/fall of 2007.
I think over half of our seng is gone already.
A lot of the woods plants that deer normally eat are dried up and dead and they are really hitting anything else that is still green or somewhat green extra hard (including the seng).
I think what we do find from here on out is going to be somewhat limited to deeper shade and north facing hillsides.
Good Luck to you !
