wtnhunt Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Re: plot help Had been having some pretty decent luck with my clovers in the bottom here before it got out of control due to it staying flooded year round now from beaver dams and some backflow issues. Got over a foot of water in spots that used to be dry this time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowhtr1 Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Re: plot help If you are talkint about summer then try American Joint Vetch. This is great and the deer love it. It has alot of protein for the deer. I had my plots under 5 ft under water two years ago (twice) and I still came up good after the water went down. The deer were in the feild in the middle of the day with 95 degs temps. For the winter I would go with some type of clover. Good luck.
