RE: Getting Started
From your map, it looks like you'll have plenty of corn/beans in surrounding fields. Your little acre of corn, won't be much of a draw(have tried same with poor results). My area is also surrounded by corn/beans. I went with clovers & rutageggies. Nothing draws like beggies in the fall. Usually they don't hit them hard until everything else is harvested or dead. Which in Minnesota, is usually october...prime bow hunting time. they'll come for miles to dig the soil until freeze up to get at them. Also... have had outstanding results with ladino clover. Did a 5 acre plot of that and another 5 acre plot next to it with white dutch. Rarly see deer in the white dutch,..but they sure herd up in the ladino. It's been 4 years now on the seeding, and it looks good as ever. Steve
