[QUOTE="Boll Weevil, post: 4014534, member: 10006"] If you have a 100ac of rowcrops on 400 acres my guess is that in addition to native foods, there's more than enough summer food. As well, depending on your deer density, small plots of beans (even the forage variety) tucked back in the timber will barely get lip-high...the deer hardly let them get out of the ground before nipping them off and you won't have anything to hunt over by the time season rolls around. If there's a winter cover crop again this year it will also be a great food source after the corn/beans are harvested. If you're just looking to establish a few small kill plots, consider winter rye (grain not grass), winter wheat, oats, or turnips. Another thing you can consider is leaving some of the corn standing. Offering to pay the farmer by the bushel based on yield and market or contract price could be easier, more economical, and effective if one of your goals is to feed deer deeper into the winter.
