Soybeans is good, fairly cheap option. Chicory, Alfalfa, Oats or a mix you put together. Try to determine what is being grown around your property and grow something the deer dont already have. The clover is hard to beat. But deer do like variety. If you decide to plant soybeans, keep in mind not to plant till frost is no longer likely. You probably already knew that, I had to mention it. All of the other plants I mentioned can be planted now. Maybe these other guys have some ideas to help also. It pays to get lots of opinions.
im positive im planting clover. there arent many corn or bean fields around me, but there are a LOT of hayfields. 100 yards away from where im planning to put my plot is a hayfield. i think it alfalfa? what are hayfields usually?
i thought you plant oats in the fall.
