If I remember correctly you planted the sweet blue lupine in your border plot. How are the deer eating it? One other question you even used a chemical fertilizer to "sweeten" the plot.. What was that ratio??
As a result I'm seeing less pressure on the lupines,radishes, and small grains from previous years. Fascinating as every year is different
I added 250lbs/acre 10/24/24 on all the plots near where 'Gorgeous' lived. For sure it greened up those plots compared to those with no fertilizer. Even with that Gorgeous drifted off to a red oak bottom as soon as acorns started falling. Thats where he got shot. And even now mostly the deer are on the acorns.
As an aside I shot lopsided in an oak bottom away from any food plots.

Every time I see a nice 8 or better on my place I fill good. And then I see the BUCKS you post and I think "man" I am not in the same ballpark as you. Those are all something to see. I think food plots have made a big difference on the health of the deer that hang around my place. And so I have to ask you about the clovers. I built a 3.5 acre watershed and because of this, I was late getting the Louisiana S1 and the Red Ace along with Durana and some Scarlet clovers planted around the pond. About 4 acres planted along with some wheat and rye mixed in. With the rain we had a couple of weeks ago, all the clovers came up, but with this cold spell, do you thin the clovers will pull through? Thanks again for your life on the farm
