Unique blend of millets and sorghum designed to create a highly attractive food source for doves and other game birds including quail and turkeys
We’ve blended together the best varieties of millet and sorghum to create a killer mix for doves, quail, and other upland species. Resistant to deer browse and very drought tolerant this mix will work in many areas where plantings may have failed before.
Designed to be resistant to deer grazing and dry conditions, this mix isn’t your ordinary bird seed. It’s made for the outdoorsman and optimized to produce even in small fields, in poor soils, and dry conditions.
This mix is great for creating cover + food for quail or a great field for a dove shoot. So call your friends, clean your shotgun, and let that bird dog know he’ll have plenty of work to do this fall.
Ingredients:
2 Millets
Grain Sorghum
How we formulated this mix:
All varieties are drought tolerant and produce good stands in less than ideal conditions. Heavy grain production and preference by upland birds earns both types of millet and grain sorghum a spot here. Sunflowers were omitted from this mix as many dove fields have failed due to deer mowing down young sunflowers. The species in this mix don't hold a lot of attraction for deer at least until their grain heads mature and dry in fall. This ensures your field doesn't get destroyed by deer before it gets off the ground.
