In my experience, if you don't get a crack at a mature buck during the first couple of weeks of bow season, you likely won't get another chance until the rut action starts to heat up. We don't often have the luxury of non-nocturnal bucks in the south lol....

[quote]Rape did not take last year because the deer ate it too fast. [/quote] 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 th...

I'd do a little soil sampling if you want to be real specific. If not, ask your local co-op guy. On average, anywhere in the South likely needs lime to raise the pH. We use 13-13-13 alot but it depends on if you have any legumes planted or not (clover, soybeans, peas, lablab all make their own ni...

[quote]What about planting trees like pear, etc. along the edge? Or hickory? [/quote] We plant alot of fruit trees on our property for deer, mostly different varieties of pear and plum. We also plant chestnuts and honeylocust, as well as lots of species of oaks. Anything you plant now will benefi...

I would bush hog in the middle and leave a tractor width or so of stuff along the edges of the woods, don't cut it. Deer really like a transitional edge cover (sort of a medium between big trees/woods and wide open field. It makes the deer feel much more comfortable with that strip of edge cover. It...
