If attracting deer during hunting season is your goal, then Buck Forage Oats have no peer. But don't take our word, we suggest strip planting next to any clover, blend, turnips, rape, or any other super blend. Then, observe during hunting season for actual utilization. You'll discover how Buck Forage earned it's name. Buck Forage are more winter hardy than most others and tend to grow slower than other oats in the fall. Smaller means more tender and palatable. As small grains get larger they tend to become tough and the protein content decreases. Buck Forage Oats are for the whitetail deer manager or hunter concerned with not only providing an unbeatable attractant, but also providing excellent forage. Seeding Rate: Broadcast approximately 120 lb./acre, Drill approximately 100 lb./acre Plant in a well prepared and well drained seed bed. Cover seed 1" to 2" deep. Fertilize and lime according to your local extension service recommendations BUCK FORAGE oats are very cold tolerant, but no oat is freeze proof or drought proof. Planting done in constant below freezing areas or desert climates will normally result in loss of crop. Freeze-out frequently occurs when warm late fall or winter growing conditions are followed by sudden extreme temperature Austrian Winter Peas - .Pisum sativum subsp. arvense TYPE: Cool Season Annual Legume ORIGIN: Common variety from Europe ADAPTATIONS: Well drained loam or sandy loam soils of the Southeastern U.S. USES: Primarily as a cover crop, provides high quality forage for livestock and deer BENEFITS: Adds Nitrogen to soil and provides winter erosion control NUTRITIONAL: High quality similar to White Clover PLANTING: 30 to 40 lb./acre TIME: September - October METHOD: Well prepared, firm seed bed, alone or with a small grain. 1 inch deep.GRAZING: Not suited to grazing because of livestock damage from trampling.
