layin on the smackdown Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Just read this in our Illinois Outdoor News paper...pretty good info here. I know a lot of people who plant brassicas, and the studies are showing that they can be extremely toxic to white tailed deer... http://www.buckforage.com/docs/Brassica_ALERT.pdf i was unaware of this. If this needs to be moved to the wildlife management room, go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 That's OK. They don't eat it around here anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeaveragehunter Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 (edited) I have no scientific evidence to back this up but... not buying that brassicas are toxic to whitetails. I think some wildlife agency would have a problem with people planting crops that are toxic to the states' biggest cash cow. I read similar articles on how corn destroys a whitetails stomachs. Not saying I am right and not saying this article is wrong, I am just sayin. Edited February 24, 2010 by joeaveragehunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 That's OK. They don't eat it around here anyway. Yep, tried em here and the deer just did not seem to have much interest in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
