Mysterious animals uprooting plants

I have a spot that I have picked for my first outdoor grow, and have planted males as testers. The plants themselves grow fine. There are deer tracks very close to the area. I came back one day to find what looked like holes dug and my plants gone. Thinking it was deer, I remedied the situation by peeing in a two litre bottle and leaving it at the site, as well as pissing around the plant. I came back today to find my site disrupted again, only to find that the plants had been dealt with again. The only problem is that the plant itself is either undamaged or only it's roots are gone, although there still is a large root. What animal do you think is terrorizing my babies? Excuse me if more information is needed, Just say the word and I can get whatever you need to help me:)

on a side note, after only a week and a half on my indoor grow you can already see what looks to be a female pilum :D

Any tracks left behind AT the site? "Animals" only ate roots? Entire plant gone? Need more info. Do you have pigs in the area? Or could you be planting where someone else has plants? Animals make a mess and leave tracks. People don't.


What would you do if someone came into an area where you already have plants and planted males? :mad:


This is just a WAG.

X2 what above poster said. Animals should leave some kind of tracks and or not eat everysingle piece of the plant. Looks like your growing spot might have already been someone elses spot?

no tracks that were noticeable, but there were deer tracks nearby. like I said, the only part of the plant that was eaten (if it even was) was the roots, leaving the rest of plant in tact.
