Casey Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Looking for a food plot that can compete with corn and beans will hunt this next fall of 2011.. Need to have it for the gun season in the middle of November and late season. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Don't know Casey, if you have standing corn there is a good chance the deer will use it. I leave beans in when we plant them and have seen deer activity in the beans on into November and later. That said, I think grains would make for a good planting, maybe with a bit of winter peas in the mix. We have had really good luck with rye grain and wheat. Lot of folks suggest brassicas mixes, but we have just had no luck with them here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to use turnips and I think they will hit it hard after the first hard frost. There won't be any standing corn unless I plant some andhleave it up.
