this year in new jersey i buy my usual bag of fall rye cover crop seed and with rake in hand i seed some areas near my stands. its been very dry and the seed never took after 3 weeks. what ive found is every time i go into these areas im spooking deer .they seem to be pawing the gound where the seed is. are they eating the seed? this would be way cheaper and lighter to carry in the woods than bag corn am i missing something. i checked the seed on the ground and its not growing. is there any nutritional value in just the rye seed or is it that the deer will eat anything? maybe a new great discovery
