I have 28 acres with 10 of it wooded. Theres a large soybean/wheat field to my east and another large one to my west.Those fields are about 1/4 mile off me. Im having trouble getting deer traffic over me. Im gonna do a fall plot on my field which faces southeast with plenty of light and has a gentle slope. Im thinking about winter peas, but what would be a good mix with peas? Or do ya'll have a better idea that would give me a chance between these big fields? The field to the west has heavy traffic going north/south with the river to the north.Also the field to the west has corn. Any help is appreciated!

I'd suggest this cool season mixture: 10 pounds of crimson clover, 8 pounds of ladino clover, 25 pounds of Austrian winter peas and 25 pounds of oats--per acre. Be sure and broadcast 200-300 pounds of 13-13-13 or 15-15-15 after disking and prior to planting.

hawgbear,.. for your situation i would recommend this...
50 lbs oats
20 lb winter peas
5 lbs arrowleaf
5 lbs DER
PER ACRE
You don't need a perenial clover in your mix cause clover will not pull deer from soybeans. PLUS,.. ladino clover will take all winter to establish a root system.
The mix above is superior attraction with added nutrition to cover you thru your deer season and still provide a spring forage til the neighbors plant their soybeans.
