We tried Throw-n-grow in a clearing on our ground. We threw it and it grew, but if you ask me nothing has touched it. As mentioned before, deer won't go for the rye grass when there's much better food available such as our corn feeders and, this time of year, the farms that border our land. We have had better luck with Whitetail Institute "No Plow." Just as easy to plant and it actually gets eaten. Their other easy-to-plant product, "Secret Spot" is also great and is meant to be planted right around your stand/spot and is planted late summer to provide fall and early winter grazing. These of course are more expensive than the stuff you'll find at walmart, but they work.
