Overview
This annual forage is built for small, tucked-away food plots where access is limited and concealment matters. It can be used in openings in the woods, elevated spots in swampy ground, or any area that receives sunlight, with only minimal preparation needed to establish seed-to-soil contact. The blend includes 11 forages selected to provide attraction through hunting season and beyond, and it also contains a soil pH booster to support growth in slightly acidic soils. For hunters managing remote plots with hand tools and a light setup, it offers a practical option for planting in places only you and the deer are likely to find.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for smaller, remote food plots, so it is not intended as a large-acreage planting solution.
- Requires clearing existing vegetation and achieving good seed-to-soil contact; even with minimal prep, site setup still matters.
- Coverage is limited to up to 9,000 sq/ft per 8 lb package, so plot size should be planned carefully.
- The forage mix is annual, so it is suited to seasonal planting rather than a permanent plot.
