[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1570976, member: 1715"] Depends on the competition. Many folks plant a blended bag from the local farm store and hope for green (just like the neighbor) but deer have lots and lots of options. You can pull them over a mile with the good stuff. A store mix is OK as a base but you will want to add kickers. White clover and meadow fescue grow in damp areas and deer love them. Because of its low spreading structure WC can survive deer mob grazing. Overgrazed MF can winter kill here. Chicory and soybeans grow in drier areas and deer love them also. Most folks don't plant a big enough plot of SB, because these upright plants can be grazed into the dirt before the season is over. I had a 4 acre SB patch last year and it was not able to set many pods. I like to plant lanes and edges with a WC, MF, chicory perennial mix and then put annuals out in the center of a bigger plot. I add a strip of SS if I need cover to get to the stand unseen. [/QUOTE]
