Mix of clovers, chicory, and cereal grains designed to provide maximum attraction for both deer and turkeys with just one plot.
One of our most versatile mixes and a favorite for either species. Shade tolerance and the ability to use it in no-till plantings makes this mix adapted to places like logging roads and small openings. Plant it in small kill plots you can’t get to with big equipment or a wide open field. This is a perennial mix so it can last multiple years. Provides an excellent food source for deer all fall/winter and an explosion of growth for turkeys come Spring. High in protein, and highly palatable to deer and turkey, our special mix of clovers, chicory, and cereal grains does it all. One of the best plots you can plant for either species.
If you want to start doing more for your Spring time turkeys and while not sacrificing cool season plots for your deer, this is the mix for you. Plant Bucks and Beards and get the best of both worlds.
Ingredients:
3 Clovers
Triticale
Chicory
Joint Vetch
How we formulated this mix:
Triticale provides a fast growing and extremely hardy nurse crop to help establish the perennial clovers and chicory. All will provide forage for deer throughout fall and winter and really explode in growth early their first spring creating a magnet for turkeys in time for spring season. Triticale will often have grain heads come spring another favorite of turkeys. Native joint vetch will come in during the first spring/summer and provides excellent forage for both deer and turkeys. Turkeys especially love to forage among joint vetch as it is a major host for bugs which make up a large part of turkey’s natural diet. Persistent and highly adaptable it makes a preferred warm season deer forage to make this plot truly multi-season and multi-species.
