It’s all about August and September. That’s the biggest nutrition hole in an Alabama whitetail’s year. I also let a few fields of WMS deer magnet go until fall planting, but neither that nor the dedicated durana plots really perform in late summer. And though its valuable to the mix, the magnet doesn’t have enough red and chicory to really fill in.

Cowpeas, kudzu, and deer vetch shine in those two important months.
