Well, zero rain last night and now the forecast has zero rain chances after this afternoon. This always happens
I tried to plant summer plots once. And this is why I won’t do it again. I switched to mineral sites for the summer and food plots for the fall/winter. My thoughts are that there’s plenty for deer to eat in the spring and summer.
ETA: got some pretty good bone growth so far.

I agree. The woodville area is chock full of browse right now. We are logging about 300 acres so there will be tons more.
I’m just trying to add protein to their diet year round.

After keeping a few protein feeders going feb-oct two years in a row, I generally agree which is why I’m not doing it anymore. That said, the deer absolutely destroyed those feeders in two instances; post season when it’s still cold and nothing has greened up, and in late summer when it hasn’t rained in over a week. If it rained they let the protein sit, if the browse dried out they would empty a 350lb feeder in days. For post season I made sure to hit the winter plots with fertilizer before leaving, and cams showed they used them. My goal now is just to have something drought tolerant on the ground for those July and August dry spells, and keep body weight consistent.
