So the real reason we went to S. Ill was to do some mowing and other "clean up" type things at the deer/beer camp. Well we had planted some stuff back in the woods different clovers and some other mixed seed and it has come up very nicely. The deer have found it and have started to eat it. My question for y'all is do we need to plant some other stuff for later year? The clover won't make it very late will it? Or would you just let it be and not mess around in the woods since season is only 4 months off?

Thanks





Why do they make it taste so good and put it in them little bitty cans- Dad

    If you have clover in there, it will go from now untill it is sprayed with something. Clover will die off after the first frost, however, it will still maintain some value after that. If you could plant some alfalfa it would give you a nice mix of tall stuff and short stuff.

    I use some corn and soy beans in with my alfalfa and clover and pumkins to. Pumkins hold out pretty good even after the frost kills the plants, deer paw holes in them and eat the seeds up, plus they are cheap seeds. Not sure how much nutrients corn and soy beans hold into the winter, but the ears and pods seems fairly hard clear into February, the alfalfa seems to be picked at during the winter, more so than clover. darn turkeys sure tear up the corn though, ca-plunk [:D]

    I wouldn't worry about messing around in the woods now, I wouldn't worry about three months from now either.

    Pumkins? never would have thought. I will try that.
    I would like to get more turkey on my land. My neighbor has a bunch and he lets me hunt on him but they are generally back in the south east corner of his prop. and that is a long walk from my place. A long walk but one of my favorite spots to hunt. Saw the big one back there last season, hope he made it through and will be back this season. Thanks all!
