    They look to be in really good shape for this point in the winter. This winter is just what the deer herd needs so far. Hope it stays that way the remainder of the season.

    Same thing is happening up in Ottertail Bob, kinda sick to pray for a hard second half of the winter, but also kinda sickening to till under bushels per acre of standing corn because they didnt eat it!

    Couldn’t you or a farmer pick it in the spring instead of plowing it under? Or is it no good then?

    You could I geuss, but the time it would take to pick is the time it takes to replant a plot, we have contumplated leaving it thru the summer and just doing a fall plot but I was concened about mold/fungus, although my uncle was claiming it shouldnt be a concern. Sure wish planting time and awsome walleye fishing didnt fall into the same few month time frame! Cant win them all though, or can you

    Are soy beans another option. Deer are always in the soybean fields pawing for dropped beans, maybe plant some alfalfa right next to the bean field. Or maybe strip it, alfalfa, beans, alfalfa, beans. I hunted a farmers place years ago and his land was hilly so he contour plants and alternated between alfalfa and corn. The first 3 rows in on the corn were eigther gone or very lttle left when it came picking time. I remember Norm saying that one year he lost 800 bushels of corn, about what he said he got on a semi trailer. They were always in the alfalfa and they fed there every night all winter long.
