Overview

Designed for hard-to-reach food plot locations, this annual seed mix is suited to areas you can access by foot or 4-wheeler and that receive only 3 to 4 hours of sunlight per day. It is intended to produce a hardy, fast-growing forage that offers high protein nutrition and attraction for deer, with preparation possible using only hand tools. For hunters working smaller or more remote plots, it provides a practical option where heavier equipment is not realistic. The 5 lb package is listed to cover 0.25 acre.

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Designed for areas that receive only 3 to 4 hours of sunlight a day, so it is not intended for brighter, full-sun food plot locations.
  • As an annual, it is a seasonal planting rather than a long-term perennial plot.
  • The 5 lb package covers 0.25 acre, so larger plots will require multiple bags.
  • Preparation can be done with hand tools, but that also means it is aimed at smaller or more remote sites rather than heavily worked ground.
