Couldn't hurt, but the deer will get used to the smell fairly quickly. For some reason, the Milorganite just seems to hold em off longer, at least thru the first 45 days or so.
When would you all suggest planting the Rackmaster- Maybe 2-3 months before the season? I saw where one guy in south Ga said he planted his plots with the rackamaster in May and they were great until late October.I need to plan the planting around the frequent rain in the area.
if your going that route i would get or use a rear tine tiller. i used that method for a long time, i finally got the kolpin dirtworks set up for my fourwheeler. i love soybeans for early season and yes they can get hammered. i usually always use a cover crop with any pea or bean. my favorite is black sunflower and soy beans the sunflower will jump out early and get up quick giving the beans a chance to get up and after the beans come up they will vine onto the stalks of the sunflower this also will give your deer a fawning area aswell as thermal cover during the summer as most sunflower will reach 6ft tall. however for small plots i like to plant a border row of sorhgum about a disc wide and come in with a oat or buckwheat the first year to get your soil right and then the following year come in with a good perenial plot but remember the 60-40 rule no matter how big your areas for food plots are plant 60% of your plot in perenial blends and the other 40 in annuals.
