RE: Late Season Food Plot suggestions?
Rob
- I planted lablab over three years, and have had mixed results. Think beans growing on vines (like cowpeas/blackeyed peas if you are familiar with them) and you have lablab. For one data point, deer completely ignored a (0.6A) lablab field Iplanted next to 12 acres of soybeans (lots of summer moisture then), and they literally walked through the lablab to get to the soybeans. On the other hand, I have had lablabgrazed out of existence by deer where there were no competing foodplots nearby. It is a gooddrought-resistant cropif it can survive any initial (~1 month) grazingpressure.Once established, the deerwon't kill it, it will keep coming back. Lablab is no good for a late fall crop, it will fall over dead at the first hint of frost and deer will lose general interest. Consider planting it in the spring when the soil has warmed and the danger of frost has passed.
