Has anyone ever tried Canola or Rape for a fall food plot? I have seen it be very successful in western Kentucky and the deer seemed to love it there. Anyone try it in middle southern Tennessee?
Canola or Rape
- Thread starter Hillbilly Hunter
- Start date
I mix dwarf Essex rape with turnips and radish. Plant 60 to 75ish days before first frost. My deer start using it after a good frost.

I hunted planted canola fields in McNairy County this year and the deer demolished it.

Dwarf Essex. Love it. Deer start in on it in October and by December it looks like someone mowed the plot down to stalks.
