RE: clover or rape?
Clover is easy and it comes back good for several years. Deer everywhere like clover. Rape allthough, has been a absolute magnet on my property the deer eat it all year! Last year I watched the deer from long distance many evenings and they always went to the rape first. They loved it all year. My foodplots (2) are both 1/2 Imperial Clover and 1/2 Whitcomb' s mix(rape, several clovers, chickory and timothy). They only thing I could think of why they loved the rape in the Whitcomb' s mix was because the rape stalks have tons of water in them and the closest water to either foodplot is about 300 yards. I will definetly replant my rape part of my foodplots, its just to bad it doesn' t grow back each year!
