[QUOTE="NDwalleyes, post: 83020, member: 218"] I've been playing with this myself for 2 years now in the SW part of the State. In the area there is lots of corn, flowers and wheat around. Some edible beans and canola. Thinking like you guys in what I call the "salad bar philosophy", I have planted brassica mixes of different sorts along with grain sorghum mixes. I had zero luck with the sorghum, they would bed down in in from time to time but it did not hold deer say like a corn field will. I had high hopes for the brassica mix I planted in two separate plots this year. Both were roughly 3 acre plots, one surrounded by corn on 3 sides that was absolutely beautiful. The other was planted along some tree rows that always hold deer. During bow season I had pics of deer walking through the still green brassica but no stopping to eat. Brassica is supposed to be at it's best when the leaves turn brown and get sweet so I thought gun season would be just great. It was an absolute gong show! Never saw a deer eating it....even late at night. So long of the short...I don't know what to think now. I don't know if they really go crazy over a specific food source when there is so much food around to begin with. My gut tells me that deer love corn and flowers because of the cover it provides them. So I'm going to look at making some open "pockets" inside my larger plots where a guy could sit and and catch one coming out into the open. Good luck and report back. [/QUOTE]
