Undeg01, that's about what our BFO and 4x4 mix plots are looking like also. Close to 5" in Okfuskee County so needs some sunshine. Deer are already browsing the BFO's down.
Yep. I’ve had deer walking past the corn feeder to get on my BFO’s. I’ve got 3 other food plots that have nearly 3 weeks of growth over this one.

Do not forget to add any pumpkins you do not feed to your livestock. They love them.

This is my biggest food plot. I have a strip of summer blend in the distance, then a strip of BFO’s, then a clover field and the closest is a winter mix of BFO’s, wheat, winter peas, turnips and more clover seeded this fall.

And my established clover field is doing great! Included a closeup of all the clover.

Deer Slayer…my BFO/4x4 Plots are looking great and have been pulling deer in like crazy! As you know, 2020 was the inaugural year for me on these seeds and yielded fantastic results seeing upwards of 15-19 deer on evening sits. This year, I’ve seen up to 25 deer in the plot simultaneously. I will be hammering does just like last year but I know I’m pulling in deer that are not my normal residents. I’ve take one “management” 5-1/2 year old buck with my crossbow and my wife took a really nice 5-1/2 year old buck with my crossbow as well. It doesn’t get much better than watching 6-8 bucks chasing does around the 3 acre plot in the evenings. Just want to thank you for playing a major role in the improvements I’ve seen over the last 2 years. It’s been truly amazing and well worth the efforts. Attached are some pics of the 3 acre (my largest of 5) plots and the 2 bucks taken.
