I am getting ready to plant about 1/2 acre of penningtons clover. Salesman said it would draw deer from miles around. Anyone had any experience with this product?

That depends on if there are any other clover/alfalfa fields around. If you're in an area with little in the way of forage crops, then it probably will attract a lot of deer. If hayfields are common in your area, then it probably won't increase the number of deer.

Be sure to follow the product directions.

"For miles around" sounds like a sales pitch. Clover blends will definetly draw some deer, but maybe not as well as a well planted rye, oats, or wheat crop - which is easier, and cheaper to propogate. Clovers shine, when you want to provide year round nutrition for the deer on your hunting property. Sure - you can hunt over them too, many of us do - but consider planting clover or alfalfa to feed the deer, and an attractant crop to hunt over. As with any food plot, especially ones smaller than 1 acre - deer will figure out that they are being hunted there - and will use it nocturnally. Plant it - but hunt over it sparingly. Hunt the trails, and funnels leading to it, and you will enjoy better results, over a much longer period.

what is "penningtons clover"
???

Crackhead

We planted a clover field where we hunt and yes the deer will come from all around but when they find out you hunt it they tend to feed mostly at night on it.We saw a bunch of deer off that field last year but this year they are hard to come by. So if you do plant try to hunt off of trails behind the field
