Turnip and clover plots are being visited

Here are some recent pictures of deer eating turnips under the snow. They are also clearing away snow and eating the clover plots. My friend took a doe with ML on Monday afternoon on the food plot.

cool pics, deer had my turnips and rape and rye plot gone in a few days after the 1st or 2nd frost. They ate it right down to dirt. By the time I got around to bow hunting, it was to late. Will have to enlarge it considerably this yr. Also going to work in 2 other spots for rape and oats this yr to. Hopefully with 3 plots it will break up the feeding a little and they will last longer.

I had the same problem last year when I planted Pasja Turnips which have large tops but the problem is they have no bottoms, the tops were gone before the rifle season and I had no late season plot for the deer. This year I made my brassica plot larger and used purple top turnips, this so far has worked out much better. The tops were eaten well before the rifle season, however as you can see they are still getting at the turnips. I feel much better knowing the deer have a food source to carry them through some of the harsh winter.
