EP:435 | Deer Vetch Explained

On this episode we are joined by Dr. Bronson Strickland and Mitt Wardlaw of Wildlife Investments to discuss the highly intriguing and somewhat mysterious warm season annual American Joint Vetch. It’s commonly referred to as Deer Vetch, or its proper name is Aeschynomene. Whatever you call it, it’s a fantastic deer forage that tolerates heavy browsing like a champ.  

We learn that it fills a late summer gap, where to plant it, how to plant it and what to expect. Vetch sounds like the answer to a high deer density and smaller food plots. It’s a fascinating discussion and one that can help a Gamekeeper.

Listen, Learn and Enjoy.
