deer will eat whole plant when small and the ears and whole plant when big.
you need that great invention a 10 foot high fence.
most people are eaten out of house and home by deer.
you may be lucky so far but that will end if the deer are hungry enough. I suggest you save yourself a lot trouble in future by putting up fence now.
a physical barrier is the only solution that works the majority of the time.

Time to reverse the order: Venison and corn on the cob for dinner.

I agree. Go with plan #1 and if that wont work, plan 2!! hehe

Our deer own the place in winter, but once summer gets under way they disappear except for one doe, who seems to live here year round. I often must cover things in spring, but by the time the corn is up the deer are pretty much gone.

In my garden, any bean is deer candy, but they leave corn alone. I've heard that the pest to expect with corn is raccoons. Some people don't grow corn because no corn means no raccoons.

Deer never bother my corn. They enjoy my beans, okra, and peas too much!

I've already got holographic tape on my cherry trees and on the tops of the cages around my sugar cane and a 6' inflatable snake down in the garden, maybe those will be enough to scare the deer away...

Two words: electric fence

I have a rural property with an ample local population of deer, racoons, rabbits, woodchucks, which had in the past considered the garden as their 24hr buffet. Ever since I installed a 4 wire fence with a livestock charger, the buffet has been closed.

No, but they may be afraid of shiny holographic tape flapping in the breeze, and the snake may work for the racoons.

We have a seven wire horse fence (two electric) and the deer jump over and crawl through the fence, all the time. They love to come into the gardens (especially the kitchen garden) but at least they stay on the grass paths and rarely step in the beds. I do grow some veggies, but have to plant other flowers/herbs on the borders, to keep them from eating in the middle of the bed. If it's a taller plant, they'll find it, so this works best with bush beans, broccoli, etc.

The babies will sometimes try a tomato plant or bite off a coneflower, but they soon find that it's not very tasty and don't try them again. If/when we decide to grow corn, we'll put up an 8' to 10' fence...or you could try the two 4' fences, about 4' apart. I don't know if that would work, but it's something else that's often recommended.

Having 2 fences is probably why my setup works. I have an old 4' mesh fence that hardly slowed anything down, then I added the 4 wire electric fence 4' outside of that. My charger has the juice to burn grass and weeds that touch the wire to some degree, but I use weed killer to keep the ground around the low wire clear. There's still the occasional nibble in the garden, which I assume are young rabbits or woodchucks able to sneak under the low wire.
