growalot Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 if it's like mine Paula....6-8 ins. of the bulb grows above ground and they snap them off while eating the tops...or gnaw them off to eat them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landtracdeerhunter Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) They pull the root out of the ground and chow it right down. They do stick out of the ground about 6 inch.Their are pieces laying all over. They drop the tops here and don't eat them as much right now . Deer haven't touched my turnips.I'll try to get some close pics of them in their mouths. Going to plant several more acres next year.

mark3885 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Where did you get the seed? Is it a blend from one of the food plot companies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landtracdeerhunter Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 Thanks splitg2. Finding out that after a series of hard freezes, they start to stink. Had the wind blowing towards me last night. Rotten cabbage smell. Seven deer came in. If one of the heavy weight doe would of came in at legal light, She'd be hanging, LOL.

mxsmitz201 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 my plot has had a funk to it ever since it matured. the frosts seem to mask the scent but once it thaws its pretty potent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landtracdeerhunter Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Got out and did about 4 hours of shed hunting. No sheds found but, it did give me a chance to check out the radish. They sure have taken a beating over the weeks, but the deer are still drawn to them. Enc. are a few pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
