nctaxi, here's my .02

The first plot you mention is pretty small in my opinion to plant WTI Powerplant. I think this is a GREAT summer seed blend, but because of your plot size, the deer density you mentioned will wipe it out quickly and is not very browse tolerant. So since the area is near a bedding area, I would create what they call a stagging area or honey hole, planting a Brassica/Wheat/Ryegrass blend in the fall. Has quick germenation for bow season.

The second, again small area but would try a Clover/Chicory blend.

Third, I agree with the clover. I had good success with the Biologic Premium Perennial blend, but I planted it in the fall so the Brassica would be available for bow season for me and the clover/chicory would have tome to establish their roots and will come on strong this spring. Clovers like Ladino, Kura and Alsike are soil moisture tolerant. Just review you zone area for proper plant crop.

Since the plots are small on the first and second, you couldplant a bag of Powerplant (45 lbs plants an acre) and split the seeds up in half for both plots to increase the forage and then re-till in the fall and plant Brassica in one and Buck Forage Oats in the other?

Best of luck, hopefully more members will chime in to assist you in their opinions/ experienceas well.
