Will Deer Eat Turnips and Radishes?? Are They Food Plot Worthy?

I planted a mix of turnips and radishes in a very small food plot in the summer. The deer haven't eat them much up to this point. Now there is snow in the forecast, will that change things??

Was doing some research on planting turnips and found this! I was looking for garden tips, but will use these deer tips as well. Thanks for sharing! 👍🏻
Excellent video, love the "B-Roll" - good luck hunting that spot. Huge veggies, thats for sure!
Great subject. I am gonna attempt a food plot for the first time next year. Still lot of research to do . Thanks for sharing
Great job, looks really good! JESUS Loves you so so much for sure !!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD Bless you !!!!!!!!
1st year planting them. They grew really well. Hoping they do what they did on your plot when the snow falls
God stuff, Dave! I’ve had zero experience with either of them until this year on Ohio public when you helped me identify them. I will say that the deer were “absolutely” hitting them back in November. Way before any snowfall. I’ll be interested to see if the activity increases with colder temps and/or snow. Thanks for the video!
Holy Cow!!! Those are huge!!!! I like turnups!!!! Lol it looks really cold but it sure is pretty!!! Oh wow!! Ur so knowledgeable... Keep up the great videos!
Have not seen hoar frost for years thanks for the memory ! We have spoiled city deer here... they grow small and pretty much bound around wherever they please. I have more neighbors with dogs now so we do not see them quite so much. Merry Christmas !
Another 'Absolutely' great video, Dave! I can tell you that in my 1/3 acre suburban food plot, we don't plant radishes or turnips, but there is plenty of clover and I still haven't seen a deer in over a decade.🤷♂️
Well after looking at this video as it’s just starting to snow here the video I watched and commented on a lot of snow on the ground getting pounded Back there take care my friend be safe and happy holiday
Have never dealt with Food plots of any kind just have hunted Over cornfields I liked your footage of the snow ❄ 👍
I hunt in southeast Texas, so not much snow here. I planted radishes last year and they ate them right away. I planted Winfred brassica, tillage radish and appin turnip this year. They've been hitting the radishes the most and some turnip. Haven't touched the Winfred brassica yet. 38° is the coldest it's been so far here. I will try and update in late December.
I plant a mix on food plots, but I have a similar situation hunting on a farm that produces grain, usually wheat, soybean and corn. I have planted radish and they won’t touch it until winter time when all the other crops are gone, red clover is killer, the farmer plants it as a cover crop and the deer will clear snow from it every time. It also recovers every year. Great choice to hunt over that for the late season.
Heavy snowfall ...
Holy crap! Those look great. I think I’ll have a salad for lunch!
That was a huge radish that food plot looks amazing I like turnips to have a good one

That’s so cool! You’ve got a lot of snow. We don’t really get snow down here in Oxford, Ms. but we saw some reindeer’s poop so we are guessing we have deer in our backyard but we’ve never seen one only in our neighbor’s yard. We are curious too what they eat and how they get warm in the winter. The snow sure is pretty though.
Great idea for a food plot.......Thumbs Up
Turnips are my favorite food plot forage. Tillage radish and winter rye are right there with them. The deer clean up my brassica plots. I heard people say they have seen brassica rotting in the spring. I have never experienced that. Deer in the past actually over browsed my brassica early and stunted their progress. I now plant rye grain next to the brassica plots so they focus on the young rye shoots early and let the brassica get some size and tonnage jumpstart. Love brassica.
