Default Chickory Question

Anyone plant chickory?

I have planted just clover in the past and had great luck with it. However I am thinking of plantin some chickory on some logging roads with poorer soil, lower ph etc.

Was wondering?

1. How does it draw the deer?

2. Do the deer like it as compared to clover?

3. How well will it grow in poor soil?

4. Will it last into December and will it be palatable to the deer at that time.
5. How long does it last as far as being a perrenial

In my expereience with clover it draws deer in amazingly well but its gone by late archery/rifle season and isnt much of an attractant after that.
If chickory is not the ticket then I am going to go with winter rye.

Thanks

Greg
