 What are some of the things you put out to attract the big bucks to your side of the woods?

[alexdanotsogreat]

has anyone just used mineral powder or mineral block? if so how did it work for you?

[redarrow]

Buck Forage Oats work well in N. Mi.  Will be mixing in Austrian Winter Peas this year.

chickory, clovers, wheat, oats, soybeans, honey suckle, blackberry, green brier,

oh wait, some of that stuff may be there naturally and you could spen the same amount of money caring for the native browse and get more bang for your buck.

You cant go wrong with clover.

[North of 8]

Dutch white clover and American Chestnut trees.

[catrancher]

Oats, wheat, triticale.  In central texas, for the dollar you can't beat small grains.  Cheap price and very forgiving to imperfect soil conditions.  I have had luck with different clovers and austrian winter peas; but after 12 years of trial and error -- I like the small grains.  Wholeheartedly agree that taking care of natural forage should be the first priority.

rape is a great attractant in late season. very high sugar content after it matures and gets frosted on. the deer love it

[darron]

My fav whitetail mix

rye
oats
fieldpeas
white and/or red clover

Turkeys love it too!

I live in WNC. I plant R.R, soybeans and corn, WINA clover, alfa-rack, Extreme, Pure Attraction, and Buck Forage Oats. I've had excellent success with all of the above. I have buddies that plant the same products with sometimes terrible results. The secret is soil testing, amending the soil as recommended, and following the directions scrupulously. That, and a little help from Mother Nature. I typically get the advertised 3-5 years from the perennial plots as long as I maintain them properly, e.g. mowing and spraying.
