Deer University, Episode 072 - Fall food plots: How late is too late?

The Deep South and other parts of the whitetail’s range are experiencing severe drought and many cool-season food plots are struggling or failing. In this episode we visit with Dr. Erick Larson, an Agronomist and Extension Specialist at Mississippi State University, that works with many of the forages hunters and managers plant for deer. Erick will discuss when is too late and what steps we can take to make the best of a bad situation.

Not just the South south, the Virginia area is experiencing fires from droughts and the farms are suffering too.

Very appropriate topic guys. It's been so dry here around Baton Rouge that I wasn't able to no-til plant cereal rye and clover until this past Saturday expecting rain yesterday and today. We got a soaking misty drizzle for the last two days that may do more good than a gully washer. Great podcast!

Where I hunt there is a heavy heavy acorn drop annually heavily wooded areas. My question is you have talked about chemical balance in a deers diet what small food plot type would balance out the heavy acorn forge?
