I've noticed lately around here that the deer are turning heavily to browse type feeding on twigs and even evergreens . In Illinois now it has been outlawed to put out corn to help the deer stay strong through the rigors of winter. I feel like the deer in this area are under a great deal of stress because of the lack of availability of even marginal quality food. I'm looking for something to plant, that may not be preferred by deer all the time, but that will interest them when not much else is available, and that has atleast some quality nutrition in it. I know some of the popular fall plantings such as turnips will work well, however I have turnips plots out and the deer have eaten them to bare dirty a long time ago. I'm looking for something that produces good tonage during the summer, and like I said is not preferred by them when other quality food is available, but that does have some appeal to them once mother nature shows her wrath for several weeks or even months. Is there such a thing. Please give me some suggestions, and any explanation you can as to why this planting would fit my needs.
