I was brush hogging my strip of oats for a second time yesterday to get the random strips that popped back up after the first mowing. After I finished that job, I decided to brush hog a 20 foot wide strip of grass that runs along the edge of one of my fields. I want to try to plant something there that will benefit the deer more than the random mix of weeds growing there now. I was going slow since I didn't want to hit any turkey nests or fawns and I got lucky and spotted a bedded fawn early enough that I was able to stop within a foot of it. The little guy never moved an inch.
My plan to add another 1/8 acre of deer food almost killed the critters I'm trying to help. No more brush hogging areas like that this time of year for me.
