✅ Basic info

• Bag: 26 lb

• Coverage: ~½ acre

• Type: Fall annual blend

• Goal: early + late season attraction in one planting

🌿 What’s in it

A 3-part mix:

• 🌾 Whitetail Oats → early draw (high sugar)

• 🌱 Winter peas → protein + fast growth

• 🥬 Brassicas → late-season food (cold-weather forage)

👉 This combination is why it’s called:

“one-two punch” food plot

🦌 What it does (real-world effect)

⚡ 1. Immediate attraction (early season)

• Oats + peas germinate fast

• Deer hit it within days to weeks

👉 Great for:

• early bow season

• patterning bucks

❄️ 2. Late-season staying power

• Brassicas take over after frost

• Produce heavy forage through winter

👉 Keeps deer coming when natural food is gone

🌱 3. Rapid growth

• Establishes quickly

• Works even if you’re running late

👉 Good “insurance plot” if you're behind schedule

🧊 4. Tough conditions

• Handles:

  • drought

  • cold weather

📈 5. High tonnage

• Produces a lot of food volume

• Holds more deer longer

📅 When to plant (Michigan)

Best window:

• Late July → early September

👉 Ideal:

• early August

This gives:

• oats time to grow

• brassicas time to develop before frost

🌱 How to plant

1. Disk/till

2. Broadcast seed

3. Cover lightly (¼")

4. Fertilize well

👉 Key:

• good seed-to-soil contact = fast germination

💡 Pro tips

• Don’t plant too thick (overcrowding hurts growth)

• Rain right after planting = huge success

• Fertilizer boosts everything (especially brassicas)

• Expect heaviest use:

  • early fall (green growth)

  • late season (after frost)
