Late season food

[tcook8296]

Took a couple years, but the deer finally started eating the turnips and radishes. They have always eaten the tops but this year they are hammering the tubers. I have some rye and wheat down in addition to clover also. . Considering all the rain we had, the plots are still providing food. I havent put any corn out in awhile and the deer are in it every night.

Your own little piece of heaven there.

Silly question probably but why now?

Do you think they are extra hungry this year? 

Took them a while to adapt to a new food source? 

I am always trying to figure deer out. 

[tcook8296]

Some deer wont touch a turnip. 

Others it takes awhile to figure out they can eat them. 

On my place in Illinois, they murder them. 

Dont know why.

That's cool to see all that work paying off.

i  have said it before  doesn't make sense but deer  eat sweet potatoes by the truckload one place 5 miles a way they won't touch them ... i think deer are just different at least across the state if not the country...

I still have green fields they are feeding off of. I guess over the next couple weeks the freeze will finally brown them

You put the work in and now it is paying off.

That’s the way to do it

We had the same turnips at our gun club in Clinton and Warren County NJ and the deer never touched them!  A woman at work did like them!
