re: Food plot planting thread

I live in La. But have property in Alabama. I am south of Montgomery with pine stands and hardwood bottoms. I don't plant until late sept to mid October try to time rain if I can. Our season runs later than La. I will plant oats. That is if the clover looks ok. Rape did not take last year because the deer ate it too fast. Hope we have another good white oak crop to take the pressure off of the food plots.

For some reason they don't hit our brassicas (rape) until they mature. We usually mix them with clover, oats, and wheat. I guess they hit the cereal grains hard on germination and then move to the brassicas. North of the Deep South, they often don't hit brassicas until it gets really cold. The first couple of frosts turn all the starch in the leaf into glucose and then the deer really hit it. I've seen them digging bulbs up out of the ground. They don't seem to react the same way down here. They really eat the tops but they don't seem to like the bulbs.
