Who is saying that? I just asked the question.. hard to tell much detail from your sucky photos :)

Deer or raccoons?

Personally, I've gone back and forth. If you really want the hunting magazine look - giant bulbs and leaves, you need to plant brassicas separately. Planting earlier allows you to get a head start on planting date for better leaf and bulb development, but also allows you to be more specific...

Yes, just a big mix of cereal grains, brassicas and clover. Deadly Dozen includes Winter Hardy Oats, Winter Wheat, Winter Barley, Austrian Winter Peas, Tillage Radish, Purple Top Turnips, Rape Plus, Sugar Beets, Forage Collards, Impact Forage Collards, Crimson Clover and Oil Seed Radish.

Wow, haven’t seen that before. Bummer! I’ve planted several potted white spruce in mid MO and none really made it. The BHS seems to have more vigor (and can survive MO humid summers better it seems).

Awesome! Love the large porch area.

Fantastic

For this reason, I time my last spring mowing around mid to late May (before most fawns drop), and then wait until July 1 or so to make sure they're big enough to move. Also helps to watch the next pass you're mowing as you go - IE watching to the left if you're mowing around the field...

I always heard Bill say he liked the Winter Greens mix the best from WI? But I believe a big part of that is rape seed. IMO, he's the least over the top from the majority of the "celebrity" hunters. If you want over the top, how about the Drury's spraying nose jammer out of their blinds...

Curious to hear everyone's take on a larger 1-2 acre clover field - Deer use throughout the hunting season (Sept/Oct thru January). My green fields are typically cereal grain, brassica plantings mixed with clover. First time I'm relying on a pure clover (ladino/Alice) stand through hunting season.

Same!

Same slow issues for me still.

You can.. as long as you have some bare soil showing. Let fly. If not, will just be turkey food.

You can leave, mow or spray. The longer you keep alive (don't spray), the better the weed suppression.. May - It gets 5'+ tall, but the clover is partially shaded, and protected the entire time. Inside, it stays clean as a whistle. Interesting to see where the rye stops (foreground)...

If you want a CLEAN clover field, use Rye!

Never had deer eat them in our farm in MO. Just another "filler" brassica IMO..

Wait until late August before a rain. Mow it and walk away for the season. Problem solved :)

Are you sure? RC BR should be up for close to a month now if drilled that early. Could have gone too deep?

Nubs and half grown racks are dead to me. Post July 1 pics or nothing :D

Isn't that the truth..
