[QUOTE="Boll Weevil, post: 3759231, member: 10006"] Totally by accident, I found that deer will absolutely use sage grass for bedding...and in some otherwise fairly open areas too. There's a spot back in some 10yr old planted pines I wanted to convert to clover but needed to keep a path for ATV/tractor to go through while the clover was getting established. I left a disk-width to travel over with the thought that I'd come back and convert that strip once everything else came up. The camera that's on that patch has snapped hundreds of photos of fawns, does, bucks big and little feeding in the clover and then bedding in that broomstraw at all times of the day or night. For the sake of comparison, I only recall 1 or 2 pics of them laying down in the clover itself...they always go back to that sage. Years later...somehow I just never got around to planting that strip. :) [/QUOTE]
