I bought some a couple of years ago that had rye grass in it.
Big mistake. You don’t want rye grass. Cereal rye is good but rye grass has no nutritional value.

I've had good luck with Domain seeds. Planted No BS last year, and went with Green Machine this year. The BS came up quick and the deer were on it as soon as it did. Green Machine has only been in the ground a few weeks. It looks good, and the deer seem to like it according to my cams.

I bought Domain Incognito as a screening barrier seed and it didn't do well at all. I also bought a bag of Egyptian Wheat seed from Hancock Seeds in Dade City and it did really well.

My understanding is that this is incorrect. The leaves of ryegrass have high nutritional value but the stem don't because of their high fiber content. So early grown rye grass has plenty of nutrients.

Value of rye grass is to see brown deer on a shooting lane at dawn and dusk

1. Rye Grass
This food plot plant - which is commonly confused with the superior cereal rye - is the worst plant in the history of food plot plants. While some similar and sub-varieties of rye grass contain slightly higher protein, most of the rye grass available at your local feed store is low in protein, carbohydrates and palatability. It's also hard to get rid of once established. But a few people swear by this cool-season plant for its hardiness, and so it remains.
Plant Instead: CEREAL RYE is an attractive food source in fall and winter. It only offers 15% crude protein, but it's high in carbohydrates, which deer need during colder months.

As I said, it is my understanding that the leafy part of the ryegrass contains nutrients but the stalk is hard to digest nutrients from because of all the fiber. You see all kinds of people on the internet claim that ryegrass has no nutrients and actually takes nutrients out of the soil.
In the end, the OP asked about throw and grow plot mix and ryegrass is going to be in every one of those mixtures.

Scratch the ground as best you can and throw some wheat out. That shite will grow in the bed of truck.

It is for sure. It will definitely bring them in as well. Just having that green carpet will have the deer visiting the plot.

Literally.
I plant wheat and oats every year. I had a bag bust in my camp truck last year. I had a nice carpet of green wheat sprouts at the front end of the truck bed where all the sticks, leaves and dirt had accumulated.

I have never really had any luck with any of them.

I used domain seed as well this year. To be honest with you, i know nothing about food plots and was just throwing stuff out there to see if it sticks. The weather actually worked out in my favor this year.
I did Green machine on one of my kid’s logging road. I just scratched the area with a drag behind the atv. And i did turnips in a cutover/bottom where no one hunts to hold deer in the area. I did not prep this area at all , ended up over crowding the turnips.

Go to tractor supply and buy Whole Oats horse feed, do not get the rolled oats, it has to be Whole Oats. Broadcast that out pretty heavy just before or after a rain.

Guarantee you , while it may not be a "preferred" grass the deer will flock to it in late season especially.
