[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2932183, member: 5412"] I've planted everything on the market at one time or another because I have enough land that I can. Every variety of Brassica's, Rape, Oats, corn, milo, blah, blah. The deer in your area will determine what they want to eat. I've said this many times, deer have a need for nutrients just like we have a need for a balanced diet. They don't have a grocery store and will search out the food/nutrients they need, and that's where they will hang out. Some areas are lacking in minerals, and some aren't. Once you find out that they don't need additional minerals, your wasting your money putting them out. If your area doesn't get a freeze before archery season, your wasting your money on rape and brassica's. FOR MY AREA, Milo is the great food plot planting. I put in 17 acres of it once and the deer had it stripped by Dec 1. Planted oats and wheat in the same area for a couple of years. IN MY AREA they had no preference. Plant something that will take a lot of browsing, and grow during the winter. Oats or Wheat is the answer in my area. They get nipped down and grow back. Cheap to plant. Plant a variety to prove it to yourself, and I think you will find out that wheat or oats are going to be your answer. [/QUOTE]
