ORIGINAL: TexasOaks

Have you had the deer reallly hit your Brassica hard when it grows. Iknow it issuppose to belike candy todeer when itfreezes because of the sugar, butI have heard thatBrassicareallyis a hit or miss?
2 seasons ago I had some very impressive hunts off of one of our Brassica patches. It was a small patch of Tecomote Ultra Forage and the deer started hitting it in late October and stayed on 'em until the late season.

Last year in that location we had a Forage Oats plot instead. My Brassica plot was in a different location and I tried Bio-Logic Green Patch Plus. This plot proved to be nowhere near as hot asthe previousyears Tecomote plot, even the Forage Oats in the same location didn't attract like the Brassicas seemed to the year before.

Here's the Bio GPP ploton Oct. 22



Here's proof that they like the Forage Oats well into the late season as well. Here's the Oats plot just before bow season opened, 9/24



Here's the same plot after 12" of snow had fallen over it..... I'm thinking the deer liked it?
