What did you do for the deer today?

Bedding is pretty well covered. Between hinge cutting years back, blow downs and honey suckle. It also being a creek bottom you can’t see 30’ into it most of the year. Just trying to add something it doesn’t have. For the first time since I’ve moved in there’s a winter wheat field up the road this year. They have killed deer almost weekly off that field for months now.

Imperial makes a mix like that. I’m also thinking it’s cheaper to buy throw and grow than buying ryegrass.
Just go to the local seed mill tell em what you wanna do and where, let them help you. I wouldn't go with any hunting branded seed, you're gonna pay 200% more for what you can get at the mill in a brown paper bag. I'd recommend a soil sample first especially if you're gonna do anything other than clover.

I did that. The 3 girls working the counter had no clue what I was talking about. Told me to come on a day the George was working. 😂

To back up my talk about Throw and Grow vs buying what Jesse posted.

At half the price it’s 85% ryegrass for the same amount.
