RE: summer/fall plot
You'll obviously get plenty of feedback on forages to try. Based on our own property here in west-central IL, we've had the best luck at attracting deer to HUNT plots when using Bio-Maxx. Even in this rich Ag land, our deer simply love to visit this standing corn and soybean plot ALL season long. If you can locate a small clover and a brassica plot somewhere in the area as well you WILL have a year round whitetail attraction system that covers everything. year round. It just seems that the clover will lose a lot of its attraction after several hard frosts and many times the brassicas don't turn on really well until our season is nearly over.
