Now is the most important time to have quality forage available for your deer herd. Nutrition now means healthy bucks later. What is your go to food plot for maintaining your deer herd when they are getting ready to have fawns and grow racks?

Pretty weather and the deer are coming back to the Balansa clover, Barkant turnip, and Lonestar annual rye. These all survived over the winter and are providing some extra nutrition for the deer herd to recover from rut and winter. Food plots aren’t just for hunting.

Hunt Theory: We built this for hunters like us.
Hi, my name is Mark. Im a farmer, a hunter, a husband and a father. After many years of hunting and planting food plots that didn’t perform when it mattered most, I realized a lot of seed mixes and blends looked good on the bag, but when it came to real world conditions such as late seasons, poor soils, pressure from deer, tough weather patterns, etc, they just didn’t perform when I needed them to the most.
So I did what good hunters do… I planted, tested, researched, adjusted and tested again. I was already growing the newest, highest performing varieties on my farm in my cover crop rotation. I saw the results on the farm time and time again. I knew what the seed did on the farm and I started seeing the wildlife noticing it too.
What started as a seed blended on our farms, turned into something much bigger and better than I could have thought.
