Anyone tried BuckBusters or Mississippi Complete Mix?

Is there a food plot that deer won’t step over to get to corn? I’ve had success with iron clay peas but they get ran through during bow season. Anything you baws have sustained success with in the South? Thanks!

Late for a soybean plot. Winter peas are the best. Just have to plant a mix that is heavy peas.

Do a brassica blend and add winter peas, cereal grains (oats) and some white clover.

Deer are like humans
Corn is like pizza
Foodplots are like salad
We love pizza but If all we have is pizza All the time sometimes we want a salad too
Some salads are better than others
Buck forage oats and buck buster seed mix is better than rye but they will still eat rye too

There’s no right answer just plant some variation plots and have corn too can’t go wrong

I’m not familiar with the Mississippi complete but we have been planting buckbusters for several years now. It’s just a blend of oats wheat and elbon rye rape and some clover.
It’s not a majic mix that will make you have 25deer in a plot but we have corn feeders and put rice bran out at our plots and they will eat some bran and corn then browse on the plot.

Be sure and check the tag, last years Buckbusters mix did not have any oats in it,(even though the website had it listed) I emailed the company and got a response with some reason or another why they did not use it last year...I added a few bags of oats to our cart

This year I am making my own mix...Oats, winter wheat, elbon rye, winter peas, white and red clover

I’ve got 7 plots that i plant peas in, all of them around 1-2 acres..... once the peas come up, they get whacked.

Check out Buck Plus made by Bluff Farm Supply.

That’s some good stuff

Spin or gravity feeders?

Short answer is no. Deer love the carbs in corn.

You have to ask yourself what type of food plot you want. It is hard to beat vetch in the spring then coming with wheat oats in the fall, or any type of fall mix. Just pay attention to tag, and do your research on the ingredients. It’s my first year with vetch, and I can already tell you that the only plots with better deer pressure are alfalfa in the late fall-late spring. The alfalfa and clover just about become useless this time of the year, but deer are hammering the vetch. The Vetch should be good until the wheat and oats are going good if my research, my consultant and No Colors are right.
