Planted my first real plot last year. It was WTI secret spot it came in well, I did the soil test and added the recommended fert and lime, tilled the area with a rototiller etc. I had deer in it but was thinking for this year if I plant clover in the spring it would draw the deer in all year. I can then till it under in august/September and plant a "fall" type of plot. Does this plan make sense? Would the clover come back up the following spring if I did this or would I have to re-plant if I tilled it under?
Why would you till it under if you have a good standing of it? Clover will work great year round. If you want to add some attractiveness frost seed in some Alfalfa.
Problem is the only real feed for the deer around this particular area is hay fields on both ends of the property clover alfalfa etc but for whatever reason they only cut it once a year so they have a ton of green field to eat early in the spring and right before season when they cut it and bail it. I was wanting something different for them during hunting season, while also getting them used to coming to the area all season.
