This might sound weird or stupid but how long before the deer in your area actually realize that the plot is there for them to eat?? I planted an acre of clover, brassica, oats and peas. Not really much happening in the plot. Have been kind of let down so far. The plot is in a field corner with beans and corn on 2 sides and timber on the other sides. There has been some action here and there but they have been hammering the beans, especially after being picked last week. Like I said this may sound dumb but has anyone planted a plot and it took awhile for the deer to actually hit it? Maybe in my head I expected much more knowing how many diff varieties I've planted. This is private property so I know the deer aren't pressured, they are in the bean field throughout the day. Just curious like I said. Any info or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Deer are eating the food source that'll pack on weight the fastest and they know the food plot species is going to be there later in the season. This is why Grant Woods favorite food plot plant is soybeans over seeded late with greens.
They may be eating acorns now. Nothing else will pull them away until they are gone. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
If they are like my deer it may take them a couple of years to figure out what the brassicas are. I watched a Gant Woods seminar this summer. He said it took 3 years for his deer to eat soy beans in the Ozarks because they had no clue what they were. Don't give up on it! Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
