If you fence the deer out, you may have success with the soybeans lasting until hunting season. Round-up ready soybeans would certainly help you control the weeds in your plot. Next year, consider planting winter rye (grain) into your soybeans in September. They will stay green all winter, and grow very early in the spring.
So your saying Peas and oats.. . What types of peas and oats? So what else should I do besides soybeans that really attracts deer during hunting season. I saw you said winter rye, last year I planted some sort of seed mixture with a ton of rye in it and the deer didn't even touch it. So what else would be good for winter? Keep in mind, I would like something that doesn't need too much maintainence
