Could be a ph thing. The deer love Turnips down at my camp, but our ph is around 6 after may years and tons of lime. Started with a 5.4 ph and blank stare from the guy that tested it for us asking what we thought we were going to grow. I can deffinatly see an impact on summer and winter feeding as our woods are covered in deer right now. During the season, its hit or miss with the plots, but we have acorns galore and standing corn fields arcoss the raod.
