Your HD screen worked great last year for me, I planted 10ft ×660ft. Along the shaded side of my now 3 year old switch to get going. Had lots and lots of daytime deer,turkey,pheasant and Bob white quail. Found turkey nest with 15 eggs out where it used to be ag just a couple years ago. Yesterday I even got to see all hatched except one, even got a good look at momma hen with lots of chick's following her. Was awesome to see.

Thanks John. Not much content comes up searching for post frost seeding (broadcast) perrennial clover into lasts year's planted winter rye grain. Where do you draw the line between rye acting as a nurse crop vs. competing with the clover? Sandy central MI soil with seed-headed rye not too dense, I'm considering letting the rye mature to drop seed into the (hopefully established clover) vs mowing or rolling it (hard to to time activity for perfect crimping: busy with life). Single bag of Northwoods Whitetail Clover screeming at me right now.

Hey John great video, lots of important information! I’m lucky I guess with our land in VT because we don’t need any green manure. The plots were just saturated with organic matter and all I needed was a drag harrow to turn it over and mix it with the black gold underneath. Northwoods Whitetail clover blend plus chicory grows amazing and keeps coming back going on 3 years now. I do over seed it with one 4lb bag in the fall but to be honest it really doesn’t need it. I just like a thick carpet going into spring green up, it looks like a green shag carpet already and the deer can’t get enough of it. I feed our herd all summer with no problems with doe scaring bucks away. I have videos and pictures of a very nice eight pointer, not yet a shooter, during the day in October/November eating on it. Four pointers, spikes, button bucks, they come and go along with all the doe all year long. Some I’ve been watching since they still had spots, the eight being one of them. Northwoods Whitetail is the only seed I will use period, honest company that doesn’t use BS to sell their seed. Keep on Keeping on John!
