corydd7 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Anybody have success or failure with their food plot seed? I understand most people will either say just go to your local ag supply or whitetail institute (I do both) but I'm interested in anything that works. As always thanks for any input.

LET EM GROW Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Im not impressed with their products at all. I tried them a few years in a row.. years ago, with crap results. The brassica blends went to bolt in 4 weeks, and the clovers never did well, if they grew at all. It may have been partially my fault for not reading seed labels then, and buying them from a dept store that sold old seed. IMO its my poor choice, but thats as much of the seed companies fault as it is the Stores fault as well.. I will not support business that sells old seed, whether its been re tested or not.. Its bad business. Buy it fresh from the people who care about their product and customers. And will give you real advise, if you ever need it.. Ordering online? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gencountyzeek Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I have had good luck with Tecomate Monster mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Lucky Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I planted some antler king throw and grow last year in 2 different spots. Neither took, maybe it was my fault, I don't know, but I will not buy it again. I have better results with bulk seed. My spots I used white and ladino clover, buckwheat, and winter rye did very well.

dbHunterNY Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 only seed from Antler King I've used in Honey Hole. it's a blend of brassica, turnip, and filler rape seed. it was a pull plot to get deer along a particular path in front of my cam to survey what was going through the creek bottom. didn't hunt it really. deer didn't touch it until the very end of and mostly after the season. then they hammered it. it worked but haven't used it again. DeerAg seed is pretty good. Not sure if George is still kicking around on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LET EM GROW Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Always check seed labels if buying in person. Buying from box stores is not the best choice. I believe its illegal to sell seed not tested that same year or some sort.. Kind of one big reason why buying the cheapest seed deal is never a good idea..
