I drilled Kentucky 31 grass on all our trails. Deer have taken to it very well. Mowed today and had a doe at 50 yrds and never spoked.

I have an old railroad track berm that runs thru where I hunt. There is a deadbeat trail that runs the top of it for miles.

Totally agree, curvy trails/roads are more natural. It also makes small properties seem much bigger.

Conventional thinking would say that 10 out of 10 everywhere is better that 4 out of 10. All depends on where u r on the property. Thanks for all this Great info

Just got my switchgrass order in yesterday. Shipping was very fast! Had it within 3 days of ordering. Thanks Jeff!

I made a 60ish inch wide trail through my property. Knocked some trees over to semi limit deer sight and give me some browse protection for red osiers. Deer have been using it like crazy!!! I mowed the trail down to hopefully keep them following it. Should I plant this with a trail mix eventually or just leave what was mowed??

Are switchgrass plots with curvy edges more attractive to deer than switchgrass plots with straight edges?

I asked this once before, do deer really like Kentucky crimson? Does it work in this area?

Lots of guys want all kinds of food they think it’ll help but it hurts more than anything like you said. Trails are a good thing tho. They’ll choose the path of least resistance 10/10 times

I'm going to use weed killer to make a trail through your screening blend (sorghum/egyptian wheat) past my stand, before it grows too tall.

I saw the biggest buck of the season dead in a cemetery yesterday.What a shame to see it hit by a car.

I cut curvy deer trails in my wildly invasive stilt grass. Can’t control it and has no food value.
