I work on a 6000 acre farm and do all the row crop planting ( 3000 acresa year ). We had broke up a 3 acre patch to be farm quite a few years ago.3 weeks before bow season, I got a hold of some buckwheat and planted an acre of it just for fun to see if the deer liked it. Took about 2.5 weeks to get decent growth of 6 inches. The deer moved in and just destroyed it!!!!! I never got to hunt it with harvest and before the frost wiped it all out but the deer went crazy for it andkept it mowed down to theground. Was nothing to see 20 - 30 deer in it right before dark.

That was myone and only food plot. Figured I got enough farming in with out having to do more with food plots.If I ever try it again, I would definitely use buckwheat again. How long has your buckwheatbeen planted and when does your season open?? Are they still hitting it at that time??
