[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5053428, member: 17"] What nwsg76 said. Mid-October is pretty close to a cut-off date, depending on weather. Because locally this property received no rain from mid-August through mid-October in 2019, plots were not planted until October 15th. Below is a picture of one of those plots October 24th, just before Juvenile Hunt. Eventually, the plots got up to 6-8" in early November before the deer hammered them back down to just a few inches by late November. Because it was so late in the growing season, the seed mixture was a very simply and cheap one of Wheat and Crimson clover. Would that planting in mid-October help to hold soil, and do [I]some[/I] feeding of deer? Yes, but just a little. [/QUOTE]
