I have used Whitetail Institute's Secret Spot this year. It ended up being in an area that was ill-prepared because of a last minute decision. I did however, clean the area real well by raking up the leafs and debris to help ensure good soil contact. It didn't come up the best but that was all my fault. However there are tracks that show the deer are visiting.

We also used Secret Spot mixed with AWP and BFO on most of foodplots. These have come up real good. The difference is the liming and fertilizing that was done in preparing the plot for planting.

I went with Secret Spot for two reasons: 1) Was most recommended of the no-plow seed mixtures and 2) I live in Alabama where WI is located and wanted to help the state's economy.
