[QUOTE="smalljawbasser, post: 4173271, member: 14056"] Fescue and white clover get along just fine, both of them are very dominant plants in our area. Yes, technically there are better forages for deer, but anybody that hasn't seen a herd of deer feeding in a freshly cut hayfield ain't been riding the back roads around here very often. every evening in the summer, as soon as the sun sets, deer pile in our fields, and continue all the way up to acorns fall or the rut. As soon as hunting pressure subsides, they're right back in them. There's obviously something they like, regardless of the lack of nutritional value. Yes, fallow fields certainly offer good nesting, fawning, and feeding habitat. But to say that mowed fescue and clover pastures are worthless to deer (or turkeys) is a stretch IMO. Mow some of it 3 times/year, let some go fallow, and call it a day. [/QUOTE]
