I'd posted the lower part of this field before with pig damage. This part remains untouched, so far, by deer or pigs. Hopefully, the deer will start hitting it at some point. Unlike the bottom part where I sprayed, all I did up here was broadcast crimson clover, winter wheat and cereal rye into standing goldenrod, then I drug part of it with a chain drag. Mixed in with this is some volunteer wild radish which are about a foot long and as big around as a coke can. I found one of those dug up and half eaten in the lower part of the field. Anyways, I think this part turned out pretty good for the first time basically doing a throw and grow.

Looks great! Deer will hit it at some point in the season... or the next couple seasons.

On my new property, I dozed in a new half acre plot in the middle of 5yo select out thick stuff.4 years ago.

Hardly any deer on it until December or so. Fast forward 4 more years of plot in the same location, and it's an absolute deer magnet all year long.

Sometimes it takes a year or two to find and regularly use, so don't give up.

Appreciate the info. We will keep it growing for sure. I'd like to clear some more as well if I can get my hands on some better equipment.
