What are you planting? Maybe I planted the wrong stuff[8D] I have 3 out right now, deer just do not bother them[:@] My neighbor has a great one, never seen a deer in it. I see the deer on the river bottoms eating the greens.
I do agree plots will work, for some reason not for me. I am curious to see how others who hunt river bottoms do it.
Well, I am not necessarily hunting all river bottoms. Our land is bordered on the west by a large creek, but it then goes up eastaway from the creek and goes up about 75-100 feet vertically. We planted a mixture of clover, chickory (sp?), and turnips. They don't go into them and just eat for 10 minutes, but they will browse through them very frequently. Our plots are small and we placed them just outside known bedding areas. I am no food plot expert though. I just know what has happened here.
