If you wanted deer vetch (Aeschynomene) it would need to be planted in spring. It’s slow getting going and would do no good fall planted. It dies with frost too.
Hairy vetch is fine as mix but as you said deer don’t eat it much. It does make some nitrogen for other plants.
No. Unhulled wouldn’t work. It would sit for 1-3 years before germinating.
Raw is fine. Don’t need treatment, but will need to add the correct innoculant to seed at planting.
Same here. I don’t plant fall until late October. This stuff stays green till first real frost and if it produces pods...
Great cartridge. The 22 creedmoor one ups it a bit in a modern cartridge. But most wouldn’t know the difference.
The 77TMK out of 22-250 is mean medicine. Have to have a fast twist barrel though
My bad my man. 223 is a great deer round with the right bullet.

Deer. Elk. Bear. Whatever.
I’ve used it on deer the last 3 years. Between me and my boys about 12 deer. Devastating. And so easy to shoot with little recoil.
Read the thread I posted. Don’t just go on preconceived thoughts. If nothing else just scroll thread to pictures. 100’s of necropsy...
100s, if not thousands, of examples of 223 being used to kill every kind of game. Mostly with 77TMK.
“Bullets matter more than headstamps.”
“Spent primers offer the supreme tutorial”.
I’ve read it here and elsewhere online. It got my attention. I started digging and asking questions and...
Yeah. They have military contracts that require them to say that. TMK is THE 223 bullet for hunting.
They just released new TMK for almost every popular hunting round at the request of hunters. 107/116 for 6 creedmoor. 153 for 6.5 creedmoor/prc.
The 69tmk is what you would want then.
62 grain fusion is no slouch either. Not as frangible as TMK, but really good round. I’ve used on deer several times and does well b
We don’t have this where I live. But I’ve always read it’s good to frost seed on top of a fresh small snow. See your seed and when it melts it works down into the soil.
