hey Just curious what everyone was planting.... what type of fertilizer you r using
and about how big a plot r u planting......we plated some strip plots of cowpeas with 8-8-8 in the woods about 50 yds long and 15 ft wide and the deer mowed em down to the ground after 3 weeks.

We haven't planted any yet. I did buy some Deer Mix at Walmart a week or so ago. It has several different grains in it.What we are going to do is take my tiller up and plant on the Firebreaks. I just installed a Moultrie Seed Spreader on the 4 wheeler. The firebreaks should be in good shape. Break them up with the tiller. Spread the seed and lightly cover it dragging a piece of chain link fence.Not sure what fert we'll use.

We have used it but it is like anything else in my book it is good the deer do mow it down but we started planting annuals 2 years ago and they tear it up just as bad

we were using 8-8-8 fertilzer on previous plots with decent results..... we switched to 13-13-13 and it made a huge difference... the plots really thickened up and got a lot greener.....we are primarily in a pine forest area and i believe the soil is more acidic than we realized.... thanks Kevin

I used Whitetail Institute Extreme this Year and the Deer won't leave it alone. I have Deer on that Food Plot form 4:30 in the Afternoon until Dark ! This Product is suposed to last for up to 5 Years and I think I will be adding it to all of my food Plots Next Spring ! I use Oats and Rye for the Winter.
