Deer are highly fond of Iron Clay Cowpeas, which is fortunate because the Iron Clay Cowpeas provide a high level of protein that will help promote antler growth. Due to their preference, deer have been known to strip a newly-seeded area if it is heavily overpopulated. Iron Clay Cowpeas yield an extremely high number of seeds, which helps them be fairly resilient when faced with high amount of deer pressure. Iron Clay Cowpeas have become a favorite addition to deer forage food plot mixtures.
Aside from deer, Iron Clay Cowpeas also provide a food supply for turkey, rabbit, and quail. Turkey in particular will seek out Cowpea plots due to their preference for early seedlings. Once the plants have matured, they will attract insects that turkeys depend upon for their diet. In the late summer, the Iron Clay Cowpeas will produce seed in pods that make a superb food for turkey and quail.
