Tree crops include oaks, apples, persimmons, pears, plums. Forage crops would include clover, alfalfa, trefoil as perennials and corn, oats, wheat, rape, buckwheat, rye. You can get minerals at Co-op, TSC or most any horse outlet. Other stores (Cabela's etc.) sell mixes designed for deer. There are mixed reviews on them from great to don't waste your money. Shelter (cover) can be anything from standing corn or grass to planting spruce and pine trees. It provides a sanctuary for the deer to bed, protection from the elements and concealment for the deer when they travel. It goes in line with the food and water requirements to provide all that the deer need to grow, be secure from predators and the weather.
