RE: Tecomate or Biologic?
You are on the right track, and are already questioning the best food plot - you' ll
do well - just remember:
The is no magic bean.
By this I mean, even if you use a mix - undestand what' s in the mix - and why is does/oesn' t do well in a particular season. For instance, while I' ve never used full draw - I' m pretty sure it contains ceral grains (and some clover I think) as a fall planting. A spring planting of cereal grains will get very little use - as its usually planted too late for use during the time just prior to " green-up" when it would be most beneficial - and when it is at its most edible state - so is EVERYTHING else - including wild forbs, that deer will often seek out first (especailly at fawning time). Once mature, it has little to offer in the summer.
The reason it is a good fall planting - is that it will grow to about 5-6" and then go dormant in most areas - right at is most desireable state of growth for deer.
While I' m not familiar with eithr planting type - I think they are advertising warm season plantings, and cool season plantings. In both cases - the majority of the blend is annual - and will need to be replanted every year. While an annual blend can do well as an attractant - its only available a short time of the year - and unless rotated with other fileds, leaves large gaps of time, with no useful plot.
I' d rather go with an perenial plot of clover as my main plot - then experiment with annuals in the fall (cereal grains) - and as summer plots (eg - corn, beans, etc.) in other sections in addition to my main plot. This setup provides food year round - and especially at the critical times of the year.
If you are only interested in attracting deer to hunt - then fall plots of annual clovers/grains and or mixes is your best, and cheapest bet.
