Message: <blockquote data-quote="Traxion" data-source="post: 194438" data-attributes="member: 983">Yes, there are some good starting points down there.  We just have no attracting power, there is good ag land all surround and lots of pheasant driven food plots.  We are hoping something different out there will help attract deer to the area rather than just passing through.  Plenty of cover to hold them there if they like it and little disturbance.  I am planning right now about 12-15 mini plots throughout the creek as a first try.  We are going to plan several different things and see what works.  Thanks for all the info on trees/shrubs!  We'll be looking at maybe 1 1/2 acres of trees.  One large plot with another 8 row strip.  Probably all hand plants, my back is sore already!  Our first batch of trees had fabric but the contract did not allow mowing or spraying....and you can tell.  Hopefully we can keep them clean and these will do better.  I am really interested in the forage soybeans.  The Eagle RR ones in particular.  My only concern is having enough to survive browse pressure.  The RR part is appealing in that it will really help clean up the plots to start.  And very few beans in the area to begin with.  We thought about taking the planter and drilling 12 rows right into sprayed out pasture.  Not sure how it would work but then we could work it in the fall.  For late season stuff, there are guys that swear by brassicas.  They won't hit them till it's late though.  Plant in late July early August, so unless they are doing fall burn down spray should not be an issue.  Rape is also one that was mentioned by a guy on here, he said he had much more success on that than with brassicas.  Seems like some deer like them some don't.  Getting to be a lot of guys planting rads/turnips for cover crops in our areas now too, so that could change things a bit.  Apple trees...yes!  Amazing the attracting power.  Just gotta protect them until they can survive the deer!I need to research the old threads a bit to refresh my memory on a few things!- - - Updated - - -Some good old threads-<a href="http://nodakangler.com/forums/showthread.php?8970-Food-plot-planning&highlight=food+plot" target="_blank">http://nodakangler.com/forums/showthread.php?8970-Food-plot-planning&highlight=food+plot</a><a href="http://nodakangler.com/forums/showthread.php?8077-Small-Food-Plots-for-Deer&highlight=food+plot" target="_blank">http://nodakangler.com/forums/showthread.php?8077-Small-Food-Plots-for-Deer&highlight=food+plot</a><a href="http://nodakangler.com/forums/showthread.php?6899-Food-plot&highlight=food+plot" target="_blank">http://nodakangler.com/forums/showthread.php?6899-Food-plot&highlight=food+plot</a><a href="http://nodakangler.com/forums/showthread.php?1597-best-no-til-fall-plot-seed&highlight=food+plot" target="_blank">http://nodakangler.com/forums/showthread.php?1597-best-no-til-fall-plot-seed&highlight=food+plot</a></blockquote>
