I'm just 20 miles west of you. Posted this a couple weeks ago. I just get the mixed seed bags at Tractor Supply and it works great every year:
I have a place in Fannin County and agree with everything said above. One thing though -- disk in a 15-15-15 fertilizer before you spread the seed. I've had good results with wheat, oats, clover and peas. But the fertilizer makes all of the difference!

I personally think its hard to beat wheat or oats. Maybe mix the 2, and throw in some winter peas. I have planted the deer blends many times, and cannot see where the deer are more attracted to it, than the grain.

Nice, Greg. Proof is in the the pudding. Nice looking plots and deer.
Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it. Don't text and drive.
