SUMMER, FALL & WINTER

Wildlife Forage Feast

This premier mix to draw whitetail deer and other wildlife to your property is critical for their high carbohydrate fall diet. The use of annual brassica crops has become important to supplement and extend the wildlife grazing season into winter. We often see deer dig through the snow to reach these highly digestible and productive species. For Summer, Fall & Winter Wildlife Forage Feast we have carefully blended this mixture with species that have variable rates of maturity in order to supply very high crude protein levels for the entire life of the plot. This mix will concentrate the feeding habits of deer in your area for your viewing and hunting pleasure. The ingredients include:

-Forage Rape, Forage Kale and Forage Turnip

Seeding Rate: 6 lbs. per Acre

Spring seedings can be used to supplement low producing pastures or as insurance against summer drought. Early summer seedings can extend the grazing season by providing high yields of very nutritious and extremely palatable forage for the fall and winter. For optimum results drill seed no more than one half inch deep or broadcast and incorporate into prepared seedbed. This mix can also be established by no-till planting in grass sod that is suppressed by an appropriate herbicide two weeks prior to planting.

Without rival the singly most attractive plant side by side in the field. Shasta will bring in and hold whitetail deer. High yielding, persistent, very winter hardy, forage friendly large leaved plant competes aggressively in pasture.

Duration Red Clover

Vigorous spring growth aids whitetail deer in the important spring recovery from winter stress and weight loss. Extremely strong persistence makes this an excellent component of Big Buck Clover Mix.
