Talked to my dad this morning, he said they were going to clear cut the pines and replant them. Should take atleast a couple of weeks. Hopefully they'll be done by the first weekend of deer season.

Same stuff is happening to the lease I hunt in Mississippi. Deer like cutovers for bedding. Maybe not right away, but give it time.

If you want to plant something for late season, go with turnips. Up here, it's way past time to plant them--not like the drought helped much anyway--but you can plant them down South up until around early or mid-October, depending on when the first good frost is expected.

If you plant them now, you should be in good shape. Once the frost kills the plant, starch turns into sugar, and deer will be all over it. I'm going to plant some next year adjacent to one of our corn or bean fields and fence it off to keep cattle out.

They probably won't replant until January or February. They thing you've got to watch for is that they new trend is to row the property before planting. Think three foot rows from trough to top. Makes it all but impossible to go across them.
