Here in southern Ohio we had many bucks on all of our trail cams and next to nothing. All night pics of all the deer no daylight pics at the feeders either. We have a couple of thick areas we don’t go in. Planted buck forage oats in September but about two weeks with no rain it tried to come in. Good job. Thank you

Thanks Ken good info. My property has been a deer desert in the fall. This past February we started to put a plan in place for fall food and cover. Bedding, travel corridors, mock scrapes and water holes. My cell cameras have been busy with many early morning to mid morning pictures of young bucks and some does. Hopefully this means they have found these bedding areas a place of security. We will be planting in the next week if all goes well. Looking forward to a interesting season.

I just got my property last yr but we had both bucks and does yr round. We had alot of fawns. I had one nice buck that summered there and left come fall he came back once. How ever i did get 3 shooters that showed up in oct. some of the bucks stayed there yr round. We only have 21 acres with 2.5 acres of food. Got 1.25 of clover rest is brassicas

Always lots of Does around me . Buck sign is low. I have boring topiary’s . But am working to make my food the best in area

A couple groups of 1 and 2 year old bucks that are feeding on my plots or at my pond as many as 3 times daily, only 2 does. Last year was similar until Oct. When two big boys claimed the area and the other bucks all but disappeared or an occasional picture of them many got busted up. Your corn is looking good and you said you used just feed corn?

So what is the best food to plant in the fall? And when should it be planted in Wisconsin?

What is the Fall food plot seed u recommend planting??

Wish I had a place to hunt let alone a food plot

I have 10 acres mostly field/ farm crops winter wheat 🌾 , sweet potatoes 🍠 soy beans 🫘 etc. and property it’s just outside of town city limits and not a lot of places for deer to live but my property has small 2 acre thicket that I have to crawl through because it’s so thick and it’s a doe haven that houses 8-12 does and they live in that block of thicket year around and the neighbors all hunt and pressure deer 🦌 and the bucks that come to my property are all usually late night camera pics but nice bucks but only few day light pics ! I’ve got corn 🌽 apples 🍎 out for bait here in central North Carolina and the bucks just don’t live on my property and the properties they live on are pressured by hunters etc and my place is only place no gun hunting at all only bow ! No gun shots on my land and the bucks come here from all around due to having such an abundance of doe’s yet they only visit these doe in dark and idk what to do to keep bucks on my land to live cause even if I kill some does the bucks ain’t living in the thickest thicket around that they can’t hardly walk through !

Trying to see what turned because early to mid september had lots and lots of day time picture of 3 to 4 years old bucks but now they come in about 5 to 10 min. After dark and my last picture away be around 6:30am and it get light here around 6:45 what change on me. Thanks for the advice

I had a scenario this year where i had 2 bucks coming in together right when i started feeding. First week of july i started feeding. My target buck was showing up every morning and every evening in day time. Well, a black bear showed up for about a week and would literally sit in my trough. All day. Well, since then my target buck has been nocturnal. And comes in maybe once a week. Its been 2 weeks since the bear. Is it safe to assume he was living close by but now has moved? He’s no longer with the younger buck either.
