How much should I expect to lose due to theft, animals, and nature before harvesting?

In a situation where I am guerrilla growing have 50 plants, all 2-3 week seedlings all feminized, and I've planted them in groups in several extremely remote areas outdoors, most don't even have roads. Say I plant them now, how much should I reasonably expect to lose due to theft, animals, and nature?

What can I do to minimize these losses? I have fans going, so the stems should be strong enough. I also plan on visiting a few times, but not much, mostly to water with fertilizers and check for hermies. I probably shouldn't ask about yields, because it depends on so many things, but would anyone have a guess? The strains are: Frisen Dew, Critical Mass, Jack Herer, Northern Lights, and Rosetta Stone.

Wait till they are atleast like 6 inches tall and have decent stems before you plant them or you'll lose alot of them to bugs and animals...Other then that you're likely to lose 50% of them.

Yeah...there's definitely deers where I live. Someone once said urine is a good deer deterrent. I am contemplating chicken wire right now...how much would that help?

Bro on the real. I wouldn't tell anyone about them first off. One person will tell another and it will explode like your toping your plant. Second, I would get some chicken wire and put it around the plants or build a huge fence to put around them. If this is too extreme for you, then I would just say let them grow and find out how many get jacked or munched on by an animal. No one can be sure on how many, because it is some what an unpredictable outcome. A few may be lost, but the hope would be that all of them live. Very unlikely, but the ones that do survive, will be potent, beast, and produce some chronic.

Chicken wire is definately a deterrent, but not very stealthy (obviously). Deer are constantly wrecking our veg garden and I've tried it all.
Piss, hair, mothballs, shaved soap, etc. and nothing's been very effective. I know people that swear by a product called Milorganite, but I've
never had any luck with it.

If your plant's are not stealthy enough to use chicken wire. I wouldn't worry about deer. People are highly intellectual compared to other animals and they will seek your buds out if they aren't hidden well enough. good luck .

I've always had good luck keeping deer away with mothballs and cayan pepper. Just sprinkle it around the plants. They won't come near em with all that pepper around em.

i am using fishing line to protect my outdoor grow

just make circle the perimeter of your grow about 3 feet off the ground, it doesnt need to be real strong stuff, if a deer walks into the sting it will spook it enough to keep them out

Tie the ends to some grenade pins on live grenades and you will rid the problem of any intruder.
