Hitting brassicas already!

[outdoorstom]

I'm surprised to see the deer hitting my brassicas, usually they wait until a few good frosts. I've got oats, winter rye, and forage peas in the freshly worked area. The farmer I lease to will leave at least 10 rows of corn the length of the field.

My 25 acre woodlot was logged fairly heavily last winter. Logging plus hingecutting bedding areas is really thickening things up!

Looks like a buffet for deer ….What no cake????  LOL!!!

Nice salad. Bring you own dressing, LOL.

I've had them clean out a small field of turnip before the first fros.

Guess I've been lucky so far!

Can't keep them out once they get a taste of turnip greens, frost or no frost

Perhaps the deer know something about the upcoming winter that we don't know about...Fattening up.

Could be the lack of apples or something else they adapt well.

 

Nice area btw.

Thanks guys.

The oats, Rye, and peas are filling in now.

I've read that putting a tree for rubbing and scraping in a food plot works wonders. Most bucks will make a stop there. We'll see!

Here's a shot of one of 3 plots in the woods. This one is planted with winter rye, oat, and peas.....just like the field plot. The timing should be perfect for bow season!
