Just get premium oats..."buck forage oats" is not much different and maybe not different at all. I finally got one of the reps to admit that it is just oats.

Just like wheat or rye, you want to plant it so the young shoots are available the time that you want to hunt over it (as mentioned above). Typically this will be 4 to 6 weeks prior to your hunting dates. Cereal grains will come up fast (soil,weather, site prep and planting technique dependant of course)...I have seen it as fast as 5 days. The deer will be going after the new tender shoots.

You can also use soybeans in the same way.

These are all very economical options that work extremely well. Remember that you want to design and implement food sources that emerge and are available for the entire year (good management program) and the options list above are great for fallfood sourcesas well as fall attractants. They are also easy to plant with typically high success!
