Walnuts

I live in grazing country. Not much ag around here. About the most we get is winter wheat fields for cattle. Because of this, bucks hit a lot of different food sources that guys in other areas say they don’t like.

You mention greenbrier... one of the best doe bedding areas I have EVER seen is on a piece of public land. There is about 100 acre patch is solid greenbrier with mature cottonwood trees thinly scattered throughout. I have literally never walked through, or sat the area and not seen a deer. (That’s unheard of in our very low deer densities) there is nothing better than thick cover that equals food!

On my NE MO farm, some of the locust don't have thorns. I select for them when doing TSI, for the pods. Everything with a thorn gets the axe...

Ya, unfortunately the thornless trait is a recessive gene so most of their progeny will still have thorns. Same thing with the grafted improved varieties. They don’t have thorns, but 80-90% of their offspring do. Don’t know what I will use to replace the potential attraction for that time of year. Maybe just lean on apples, or early dropping and sweet persimmons.
