NVR

Its already too late for a fall clover attractant plot in most areas.

Its not to late to PLANT - but its to late if you plan to hunt over it. Unless the soil is exceptional - clover can take 8-10 weeks to establish well enough to support several deer.

Fall planting ( Late August ) with a cereal grain nurse crop is a good option. The Grain is THIS FALL'S attractant - and the clover comes in strong the next couple years after.

Like FH said plant it late aug till mid sept with wheat, oats, or any other cereal grain. The nurse crop will help keep down the weeds and you probably have a great perrenial plot next year.
