Lab-lab question

[killer]

I checked out my lab-lab today and it looks great, it's almost waist high. When will the deer start to eat it? There are a few tracks around the edge and the beans are clipped off, but I was wondering if they will eat it down low or if it will stay tall?

[skin_dog1]

thats the great thing about lab lab. They will most likely not eat it down. It grows fast and vines out usually keeping ahead of the deer, unless you hunt where I do and the deer eat everything in sight before it has a chance to establish!

If you would kill more of them then they wouldn't eat everything you put out.

Killer, I haven't tried LAB-LAB yet could you post up some pictures I would like to see it.

This place is in Allen county and we usually take 4-6 does per year and have only taken 2 bucks in 4 years. It's only 44 acres and gets a fair amount of pressure all around. There is just NO agriculture around. The only ag is a few alfalfa hay fields, but none within a couple miles of me. I don't want to lower the number of deer, just wish I could afford to feed the ones we have! lol:D

I'm not experienced with Lab-Lab, but it looks to me that you have a lot of foxtail growing in that field. You need to spray it with Select or Poast to kill the grass out before it heads out. I've been wrong before, but I think Lab is a bean, not a grass.

Lab-lab plus is a mix of lab-lab peas, forage soybeans, another pea (dont remember name), and sargum (I think thats what your seeing), but I'm no expert either. This my first plot.

Lablab plus has milo in the mix. It gives the lablab something to climb on. The deer will hammer the milo when it starts to mature.

Nice looking plot

Thats exactly how all of our lal-lab fields started out. Once the beans get going, they'll vine out and go up the milo, the deer will hammer it to the ground once they get tuned in on it. It does grow faster/thicker than they can eat it, but we had noticable hedge lines on every side of our plots. Looks like you're ready to go, good job:cool:.............

This pic isn't the best but you can barely see the cage now and its over this doe's back.
