RE: Antler Growth Plot
For antler growth, you need to deliver forage high in calcium and phosphorus to the deer. Not only is protien required in spring and summer, but also during winter. Nothing does this quite as well as brassicas, as a winter forage. Follow this with white clovers and alfalfafor spring/summer forage .... and the deer are getting the maximum mineral - protien combo for max antler growth long term.With this in mind, all the required primary, secondary, and micro nutrient/minerals need to be in the soil so the forage can deliver it to the deer.
