I’ve got a couple properties where the deer winter . It seems like they are fast forwarding it big time this year…tough conditions and they move in from the more agricultural areas. Is your land part of a wintering area..Anyone else seeing deer move in? Curious .

Since I started opening the woods and getting the resulting browse, this place has become a wintering area. We see deer off and on all day. No bucks though. Not sure what that means.

The Sorghum we planted is kind of “hot” right now. Deer and pheasants are liking it !

I’d have to look back at the variety . Waist to chest high. Not too bad for weeds. Just planted it in early June and it did well.

No spray .. my buddy drilled it in. Let her ride. Some weeds are not a real negative with Sorghum in my opinion.
