Buck Forage Oats

Bullwinkle, I experience the same thing, the BFO mixed with AWP is hard to beat for part of the fall. Winter rye does not draw as BFO does but the fawns that don't get eaten by coyotes in the spring appreciate the rye that hid them. And the deer on the brink of starvation that stumbles onto the rye(which is the absolute first green plant of spring) appreciate it as well and the soil screams with joy with the nitrogen the rye has mined from the lower parts of the soil as well as the Organic matter it leaves as its legacy.

I am a fan of DR. Kroll and think his book , "A Practical Guide To Producing and Harvesting White-tailed Deer 1991 told the whole story about setting up land and has stood the test of time. I don't care about the modern day politics; His teachings brought me to a new level of deer management and shooting at that time just as Steve Bartylla and the QDMA forum guys did a few years ago for me.

Still, I don't think anything beats the LC mix for meeting the combined objectives of hunting, keeping the deer on your land and helping the deer.

Sorry guys,I'm new to creating food plots and when I read your comments I don't know what most of the acronyms mean. I have about 250 acres to work with and I have good equipment and I am retired so this is my new job! I live in central New Hampshire and appreciate any ideas or advice you can give me.
Thanks Ron

Hi Ron,
Welcome to the forum. From my post BFO is Buck Forage Oats and AWP is Austrian Winter Peas and Rye is rye grain also referred to as winter rye and not to be confused with rye grass-big difference there. Here is thread that contains all or most of the acronyms any of us use.
