My first plot was a 1/2 acre of Imperial Clover. Its attracted the deer all year. They dug threw the NYS snows to reach it until it got to deep. In late fall it stood nice, and green. I started out having to mow it 1 or 2x a summer. Then as it wore down in yrs the deer devoured it enough I didn't have to mow it as much. Last spring I put in 2 more plots, Alfa rack w/chicory, and chicory w/clover. The deer hammered them too, more than I wanted them too. I figured the extra plots would not cause as much pressure, I mowed them 1x regardless. The deer haven't eatten them to the dirt, but they stand only 4". They LOVE that chicory, and ate it up before the clover & alfalfa. This spring I'm going to redo the original clover plot with just Imperial again.
