Mantis Mayer,
Sorry, I have not read the book. From what I have read from many sources is that the food plot will not last into very late winter to very early spring. I am not saying the plot would not be helpfull, I am saying the deer must have high protien food available from late Jan. to green-up if they are to reach full potential by the following fall. Every species of brassicas I have looked into claims to be good through Dec. if seeded in late summer. It looses its protein value after that. Let us know if it makes it into Feb. or March, if it does you may convince me to try it. I am not putting down the product and believe anyone who puts in food plots are doing hunting a great service. I would much rather hear from those who have used a product than hear it from the company selling it.
