RE: New Guy Wanting to Plant But Needs Help
To hold deer you will need at least an acre. An acre will feed 7-8 deer threw the summer.
Durana clover is probably the most tolerant that I know of. Contact Kent Krammermeyer at Pennington seed
Large seeded vining legumes would do such as forage soybeans, Lab Lab, cowpeas.
You ca use a no-till drill or planter to add something else in later.
Not that I know of. If you have to hoof it in, it will be a ton of work. If you can take a 4 wheeler in you can spread it with spreader, using pelletize lime.
Nothing I know of will keep hogs off of a food plots.
Any small seeded legumes like clover, alfalfa, or forb like chicory, can be planted with out tilling, but the ground needs to pe clear of any foilage.
My recommendation to you is to take a rake in to the woods. Rake out an area with some sunlight, and plant some hunting plots that highly attractive. Cereal grains, legumes, and brassicas. If you can talk to a biologist in your area, ask them what the deer are lacking in your part of the country at that time of year.
