The goal is not attractive plots its plots that deer use when you want them to use them. My plots are designed to pull and hold deer primarily during rifle season. I need to improve my bow season plots but I need a bull dozer to help with that. Who cares about diversity, OM or other goals if your plots don't pull and hold deer while your in stand.I think one drives the other, especially in adverse weather conditions. Aside from the barley heads, my most browsed plot plant this summer was a weed - willowherb. Maybe, planting for the exception is insurance but most often the normal happens. There are degrees of this but most plantings can do pretty well except when there is an extreme negative condition. I like the idea of diversity but would not give up draw and holding power to gain diversity.

If you are only going to hunt it one or two years then everything else doesn't matter. If you want to keep having good plots it would be wise to maintain or even improve your soil.
Agree on improving soil but farmers have tremendous success applying soil amendments rather than using great diversity to improve soil. In the past I have shallow tilled and planted a rotation of corn and beans with great draw and holding power. I would not give up my corn and beans and feel I could plant them forever without destroying my soil. I do overseed rye in my beans but that's it and my OM has improved.

May be easiest to have best available after these sources dry up: Alfalafa, acorns, and corn piles. Thats muzzleoader season. Its a lot easier to be candy man during muzzleloader in Northern MN. But its a shorter window and snowfall can make it or break it.

But its a shorter window and snowfall can make it or break it. Sure might simplify things a lot. Just have the best tubers (maybe even corn) in the county and hope it doesn't snow three feet. Get the long-range muzzy dialed in. Might have to wear the snow shoes to and from your hunting stand though.

Get enough snow to cover the acorns but leave your food exposed and every deer in town comes on a good temp drop.

You're in the strike zone there. Wonder why he's cut the price so far with only 250 miles.

Likely he cut the price so much because everyone now knows you cannot run a flail mower on these ATV's and be a happy camper. He's gonna sell before the market crashes entirely. OH.....and smart folks are buying UTV's these days. . FORE! (just to plant some seeds of doubt for you....grin).
