Buck Forage Chicory has been thoroughly tested and is recommended by Dr James C. Kroll a.k.a. “Dr. Deer”
For best results we recommend planting it in companion with Buck Forage Oats in the fall. “The Harvest Plot”
Unlike lower choice deer food such as clover and brassica (turnips, rape, etc.), deer have shown high preference for Buck Forage Chicory in the fall as well as the spring and summer.
This combination converts your Harvest Plot into a highly preferred Harvest and Nutrition Plot, and only requires only one planting a year. buck Forage Chicory has a protein content of 22-33% depending on the stage of the plant growth.
Buck Forage Chicory can tolerate heavy grazing, low temperatures, and is widely adapted to areas with 30 inches or more of annual rainfall.
We have been amazed at the way our deer stay on these plots here at the research facility at Deer Channel.
