I wanted to put some more small plots in my open areas in the woods. The deer hammered my rye and clover to the ground and I wanted something that would be available for the rut hunt.

At the mill, they told me rape seed would work for this time of year and for what I want.

I planted it on September 5th in northern PA. What should I expect. Archery runs from October 3rd through mid-November. Rifle is the Monday after Thanksgiving.

Do deer love this stuff? What about bears? Thanks.
