    Ok, so today I scouted a new area that I will be able to hunt this year. I've got a ton of deer tracks in a broad and dry, shallow, muddy, creek bed. This creek bed looks like in probably gets really soggy in a moderate rain and perhaps has a little standing water in a very heavy rain. It is basically just an open area really good looking dark dirt with tons of deer tracks in it. Which got me thinking, if there is some plant that I can grow that will draw the deer in even more, why not try it?

    So I'm looking for something that will be even more attractive than the regular undergrowth and plain-jane grassy plants that grow naturally.

    In the past I've used some of the 'throw and grow' that I bought at a bass pro shops. But the only thing that really took hold was a very grass-looking plant that didn't seem like it would really draw them in when they have plenty of other green plants around.
