Oh no, don’t believe everything you read. When we had peanuts growing here in the county, way more than we do now, deer were in every peanut field you seen and I mean lots of deer.
Elk like peanuts as well. A co-worker's dad lived in the Lawton area. He was a peanut farmer and constantly complained about the elk tearing up his fields. Told the son I'd be more than happy to help, but his dad didn't allow hunting. Even for his son.

Sounds like a fun guy.
He actually was. Incredibly soft hearted toward animals even though he raised cattle for slaughter.
He just didn't have to see it when it happened so he was OK with it.
More than once he called me to dispatch a cow that was a downer or diagnosed with a cancer.
His oldest son and I did a lot of bullet testing after properly dispatching the cow. We learned a lot about how bullets perform when contacting bone, etc.
