[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5533018, member: 17"] Only problem I have with these types of food plot plant preference studies is that they are VERY site/soil specific. What deer go crazy over in one location they may not touch in another location. For example, in heavy clay soils in the Southeast, deer can't keep their mouths off Austrian Winter Peas in a fall/winter plot. However, plant them in sandier soils, and deer won't touch them. No idea why. And as I posted in another thread, even in the same plot/soil, a plant may go untouched in summer yet wolfed down in fall. I've used Buckwheat quite a bit in my plots. But deer hardly use it at all in summer. However, mixed into a fall planting in August through October and deer go crazy over it until the first freeze kills it. [/QUOTE]
