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! 👍🏻

    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!

    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.🤷‍♂️

    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.

    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.

    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.
