 Mark,

Clover would be my first choice for a plot that size and at that latitude unless the site tends to be dry (sandy soil, etc.).  Clover usually won’t attract deer after the first frost. If you are a late season hunter you may wish to try Eagle Seed’s Broadside blend. It’s great for early, mid, and late deer season. It’s also what you see turkeys using in our videos now at my property.  You can check out my Facebook page to see some recent videos of toms using Broadside.

I’ve also had great luck using a Non Typical electric fence the forage in smaller plots till hunting season.

Enjoy creation,
