Alfalfa
huntnnw:
Grass? For deer? Elk maybe . I have bales of Timothy and orchard grass and deer rarely touch it . Alfalfa they devour.

I didn't say I was gonna start feeding lol, It's a simple question

You shouldn't introduce alfalfa to them out of nowhere during this time of year if there is snow on the ground. It can kill them. Their stomach is a furnace and if you stock it with the wrong fuel it will get too hot and they will die. You can give them a small amount at a time to build up tolerance but if you just dump alfalfa bales that they can gorge on they can die, can die, doesn't mean they will. :dunno:

I did a bunch of new bait spots last year.
I want to say 75 percent of new spots had a deer there before dark on the first day .
Alot of factor play into it .
Decent population of animals,bait spot location,
If they hear the feed sack being dumped....lol
I did look on my cams to see how quickly they find it.
It was day one most times .
But I wasn't using alfalfa.

This is what I meant, to clarify my last post.
Introducing it to them out of nowhere is no good.
