I cant read every post on this forum but I've read some.
I've got 22 plots some in hardwoods, some in pines. 4 plots are 1.5 acres, the other 18 less than an acre. We test our soil every two years, this year is our test year so Auburn will see my dirt coming soon. We lime as directed and usually over fertilize come fall.
My question is what can I plant to attract the deer ? I've heard you say soybeans are no good if I dont have a big enough plot to let them eat down some while the rest grow, so that's out. I've read on here iron clay peas. I guess what I'm asking is whats everybody's "go to" for summer plots ? I'm no farmer but with all my equipment you'd think I was so I have the tools, just need direction. Like everybody, gets dry in summer so I'd need to consider that.
Too broad a question ?
Thanks in advance for your time.

I’d have a general mix of IC peas, sunn hemp and corn for IC peas to climb on. Could use milo (grain sorghum) but the sugar cane aphid May ruin that for you. Start you some perennial clover spots too to hedge against costs in long run. Dixie reseeding red clover has done really well for me. There’s plenty ways to split it but those would be my first interest.

I planted 20 acres of it last year. Deer ate it up before it could get size. I mixed it with sun hemp

Gonna be tough to do that either way. Corn gonna shade out beans. I’d split field in half. I understand it’s just plots but you don’t want to waste money and time either

We usually just do ICP. Anyone plant buckwheat? I think we may give it a try this summer. We did some Buckwheat 2 seasons ago on some roads and small future plots to try it , the deer tore it up so we plan on doing again this year

ICP has always done great for me. Planted buckwheat two years ago and never actually noticed any deer pressure on it. They eat the piss out of my ICP and sunflowers. I usually broadcast another planting of peas around august to help fill in where the deer may have eatinthem down for bow season.

Turkeys liked it too
