Canola sprouts (small plants) are sweet (natures anti freeze) and draw the Deer much like Alfalfa does.

I pay around 50 cents a pound for Winter Canola seeds. You can scratch them in with a rake, you don't need to plant them. You can put out a decent plot with 20 KG, (fifty pounds) of seed. You just need a little rain so they germinate.

Deer seem to love Canola sprouts.
Thanks for the advice man, really appreciate it
