You will probably just have to try it to find out if it works in your area. We tried the Biologic and got very poor results while others have posted of some success. I know a mixture of rye, wheat and oats works so that is what we plant (about 60 food plots).

The proof is in the increase in animals. Just because a planting grows it dosen't mean it's good for the deer/wildlife. After planting put an exclusion basket in the planted area. Measure the difference in growth from the inside of the basket to the outside of the basket. This will give an indication of animal usage. Next, and this is the good part, keep a record for the next 3-7 years and you should know if the product you are using is the catalyst for animal increase.

No thats not what I said. Deer are in need of quality nutrition all year long. However, the spring and early summer are the most important for antler growth. Early winter and spring/summer for and fawn/fetus development. If a product is not available during the critical months usually the animal will not be able to reach it's genetic potential. The fall plantings will assist with some fat put on the animal, but not a lot. Usually the animal has it's winter layer by late September. This is not to say that fall planting have no merit... Anything is better than nothing. We suggest that first time planters plant in the fall because the weather is usually cooler and more forgiving and success is important to someone new to planting. Therre are many quality products on he market for deer nutrition. The important thing is to know how deer work and what is needed to assist them in their nutritional needs, the only area, besides culling, that is practical/economical to really manipulate the herd. There is a lot of great information on the various boards. Don't stop learing and asking questions. The only dumb question is the question not asked....
