I am looking for what you all would plant to keep deer coming around right now in the Midwest. I have a very small patch of timber less than 2 acres next two about 2 acres of switch grass on the edge of town that has no appreciable cover close however the surrounding corn is going to provide a lot of cover soon. This spring noticed a deer or two hanging around, and a month or so ago noticed a brand new dawn in the yard first Deer I have had since I’ve moved in 5 years ago. The doe and her dawn have taken a liking to my small garden sweet corn patch. I have donated it to the deer at this point and would like to keep them coming out as my boys and I just love watching them. What would you plant in a small area to keep the deer coming out beans, buckwheat, peas? I have no desire to hunt them but would like to keep them around for our viewing pleasure. It is illegal to feed or supply mineral both off and during season or that is the route I would take.
Having deer in my yard when I first moved in seemed like a pipe dream but figured allowing some wsg and early successional habitat to come back wouldn’t hurt anything.
