I never plant until the end of October. I have never understood why everyone plants into the driest part of the year. It's like we've all got to rush to the feed store to get the seed like it's going to sell out. Then you get the seed and you're having to throw it out because you don't have anywhere to store all that mess.
I order a pallet of seed tell the seed store I'm not coming to get it until sometime in late October and it's never an issue.
We plant third weekend in October. Has worked well for us for many years. We are mostly old now so not a lot of bow hunting going on. We mow the plots a couple times a year so they arent 6 foot tall when planting. Plus it seems deer graze more in our fields when they are a little shorter.
