In my woods plot the first weekend in August I planted a mix of frostmaster peas, oats, rye, tillage radish, crimson clover, also had some volunteer buckwheat, and threw some soybeans in for early attraction, the soybeans were nipped off from the get go. The rye and oats are approaching 2 feet high and the peas that have not been eaten are just about as tall. The oats that haven't been browsed down are setting seed, and there is going to be a lot. I have never really read about anyone having this happen in the fall, but will the deer use the oat grain for a winter food source? I also seem to have some rye setting seed, although very few, i thought rye had to go through winter to set seed the following spring.
