And, I’ll add this: it’s tons of fun learning how I can grow these plots of deer food, improve soil, improve deer, and find some like-minded guys to trade experiences with. Been fun finding out I’m not the only one! Thanks!
I’m no farmer and don’t ever want to be….I just enjoy projects and seeing positive results…..and killing big bucks. Our property has 240lb bucks with thin, pu$$y racks.
And honestly, I’m tired of the corn and protein. It’s not economical, natural, or fun (to me).
I remember before feeding was allowed….there were more deer and bigger racks.
I have them on the wall to prove it

I’m no farmer either, would hate to have to make a living that way, I’d be pretty skinny.
On feeding corn and protein, we and several neighbors were feeding protein before our big drought in 2011 it think it was. We had a big die off from that drought, deer population crashed. Took a long time to recover and when the deer population had recovered most folks had lost interest in protein
Fast forward to 2 years ago, my first Fall Release planting, deer walked into the plots with their noses on the ground, when they looked up peas were hanging out of their mouths. They hardy glanced at corn, corn feeders became crow feeders.
One more benefit to the project. I don’t buy corn or protein now.
