Location, size of plots to work with, farming equipment and number of deer on place?
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

Gatesville, several locations up to 7 acres each plot, and several hundred yards to a half mile between them, biologist has recommended in the past couple years to shoot 8 bucks, and 18 does.
Does this help?

Look at East Texas Seed Company they have some great blends for spring, summer and fall. I have had great results from their products at my place in Montgomery county.

If your anywere around me a disc/seeder/drag is going to be your friend. I plant mainly cow peas in the spring along with a lot of clover. I will usually put in a bag of corn and bird seed as well.

Look up Turner Seed Company out of Breckenridge Tx. Great people to work with and know there business! I planted a Fall Wildlife Blend in Sept. of this year in Brownwood area and the deer and turkey loved it and are still hitting it hard even though they have grazed it down to the ground! Going to plant their Spring blend soon! I think they also shipp their products. Price wise its alot cheaper getting seed from them than the high dollar stuff that are advertised in the magazines! 50 pound bags. Hope this help! Good luck!
