You have to remember that the deer will not typically hit the rape until after a frost and the insides become sweet.

cajun have you ever used any alfalfa. the place i hunt in missouri. has huge alfalfa fields. the deer love them. don't see too many around here. i'm sure there is a reason. also this is a perennial comes back for up to five years and don't rob the soil
