🍀Ultimate Throw & Grow🍀 Food Plot Video! Comparing 10 No Till Products to Best Attract Deer PART 1

[@mountainbuck]

My apologies to Bio.Logic's Hot Spot. They actually place the seed mix label on the bottom of the bag and I didn't see it there. The blend for Hot Spot consists of: 48.48% Goetze Common Wheat 26.89% Trophy Rape 14.26% Tam 90 Annual Ryegrass 7.86% Daikon Radish 0.66% Other Crop Seeds 1.76% Inert Matter 0.09% Weed Seeds

This was an excellent review! I’m getting ready to start my own plot soon and this was exactly what I was looking for.

[@mountainbuck]

Hey Sean! Thanks so much, man! There are two other parts to this video series (check out part 3 if you can). I also have a good bit of other food plot content. Thanks for watching! 👍🏻

[@caseylyon6758]

Great review. Looking at the seed labels from big name companies blows me away. One of the Whitetail Institute seeds in this video literally had 53% inert matter in it. I know the inert matter can help with getting an even spread in some cases, but 53% seems insane.

[@mountainbuck]

Hey Casey! Exactly! It’s definitely important to check those labels! Thanks for checking out my channel! Check out Part 2 and Part 3 of this video series if you have a few moments. Pretty interesting stuff 👍🏻

[@malko3611]

Tried Hot Chic because of this video. It turned out great and will be using it again. Thanks for the info!

@@mountainbuck your welcome! It's nice to see something different !

[@TopIncredibleMoments-h7v]

this video is super informative and really well put together! i appreciate the effort you put into comparing all those products. but honestly, i wonder if the focus on specific brands might limit viewers from exploring potentially better local options. what do you think?

[@mountainbuck]

Hey thanks so much! There are actually 4 parts to this series. For this series I focused on national brands that anyone should be able to find on Amazon (or at their local Tractor Supply, etc)

[@zMarshalls]

Great video looking forward to the update

[@terrytolar1749]

Important to distinguish between common rye grass and cereal rye. I'm no expert on the products you tested, and am not suggesting you gave any inaccurate information. Just want everyone to know cereal rye is a good food source for deer where common rye grass is not.

[@mountainbuck]

Excellent point, Terry! I’m a big fan of those cereal grains for deer. Thank you for contributing and for checking out my channel 👍🏻

[@chuckydubree1925]

Awesome video...thank you for all the info! I just subscribed and anxious for updates! Would you recommend overseeding an existing killer Imperial clover plot in Mid-late August with some of these products?

[@mountainbuck]

Hey Dennis! Thanks so much for subscribing! I really appreciate it! You can check out Part 2 of this video series here kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5yrmHuips-lf80 and Part 3 here kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGnHZYdsl9mDesU I'm personally going to reseed my existing Secret Spot food plot from last year (you can also find a couple videos on that on my channel). There was some really nice white and crimson clovers that came back, but I have ferns that are crowding them out. I'm going to be raking it up about mid august and putting new seed down. Best of luck with your food plot! Let me know how it works out for you!

[@dennisp5373]

@@mountainbuck Hey just an update....I planted 2 plots in the woods after watching your review. I used Hot Spot in one, and No Plow in the other. Raked both spots vigorously. Had rain 3 hours later, and rain for the next 3 days! Both are doing well...but the Hot Spot is crushing it. Lots of rye grass though, as you mentioned. Will keep you posted, Keep up the great videos!

Interesting video! One thing I do notice is you crowded the honey hole tray to much,brassica likes its space. Usually in a month they are 8" tall or better

[@mountainbuck]

Hey Greg! Thanks for the info! I appreciate it. I know I overseeded, for sure. I’m still monitoring the trays and will hopefully post an update in a few weeks. 👍🏻

[@hogjawdanny]

Hey very good video one thing something I just learned today though on another person video and I’m 48 years old there is two different maybe even more kinds Rye Grass I feel like a dummy but you always learning I planted Rye grass one season and had 3 different lanes one lane was rye one was oats one was wheat every single time the deer would never eat the rye and walk over it to eat the oats first the wheat but come to find out I planted regular rye your supposed to plant Cereal Rye or also called winter rye and cover crop and it’s planted for cows and livestock Deer love it just make sure it’s right kind

[@mountainbuck]

Hey thanks for your input! Absolutely! Definitely plant the Rye cereal grain, but not the rye grass. Great call and best of luck this season 🌱🦌👍🏻

If you cover the seeds with soil, is it really throw and grow?

[@mountainbuck]

🤔

Trying the same stuff this year as well (the throw and grow)

Good deal! Best of luck with it👍🏻

You should set them all in a line in the woods, set a trail camera up and see which one gets hammered the most by the deer

Hey Levi! Thanks for checking out my channel! I’m a big fan of Domain Outdoor (Hot Chic and No BS). You should definitely check out Part 3 of this video series. I’ve also planted Hot Chic and No BS on my own property for this upcoming season (I have videos on those as well). If you go to my channel page, I have a Throw & Grow playlist with all these videos. Let me know how you make out and best of luck!👍🏻

@@mountainbuck I intend too! We're closing on 26 acres middle of next month so doing some research now to see what we can throw down for this fall! Thanks!

[@mountainbuck]

Hey that’s awesome! Best of luck!

[@Sandwichking-hikes]

Rye grass does nothing for deer but grows super easy so they use it as filler to make you think seed mix growing well so your happy shortly after

[@mountainbuck]

Good points Sandwich King! Thanks for the input and for checking out my channel👍🏻

[@stuartschindler9435]

People please go to your local feed and seed place and at least talk to the employees about what they sell and how it compares to food plot mixes in big box stores. Spoiler, most won’t try and pawn off a mix with 25% rye grass with 30% inert matter. Just do a little research, you’ll probably save money and definitely have more attractive plots

[@mountainbuck]

Hey Stuart, thanks for the insight! Knowing and understanding "what's in the bag" is one of the main points of the video. Best of luck this season!

[@mainenorthwoodshunter3265]

Great informative video. Thank you. I have a small food plot or two to plant here in Northeastern Maine. Hopefully, I can find some of these products somewhere. Maine North Woods Hunter (SHANE)

[@bengooley6935]

I thought the Evolved Harvest Throw & Gro had the seed analysis on the very bottom?....

[@mountainbuck]

Hey Ben! Thanks for checking out my channel! That could be! I totally missed the seed info on Hot Spot because it was in the bottom of the bag. Good point!

[@richardgrant764]

For all the people that say deer do not eat rye grass- my trail camera in 2023 said otherwise. We took 4 deer off of a very small plot of throw and grow that deer were visiting daily.

[@mountainbuck]

Hey thanks for watching! There are some clovers in that mix and I’ve killed a buck in that stuff before myself. I guess it all comes down to the deer’s options. Best of luck this season🦌

[@WesternNyBigfoot]

Ive used domain in Wny and had very slow results

[@mountainbuck]

How much rain have you had and what seed mix did you use?

[@1tufss]

Deer absolutely eat Rye Grass…last yr turkey destroyed my oats/winter wheat/rye/winter peas before any rain. Planted rye grass last min…killed justbas many deer and they ate it just fine

[@mountainbuck]

Just my opinion, but yes they will eat rye grass if there isn’t anything better around. Best of luck this season 🦌👍🏻

[@Flopdroppursuit]

Your opinion which one was the best that grew in the short time

[@mountainbuck]

Hey Chandler, thanks for checking out my channel. Hook me up and hit subscribe if you could. There a several really good products that I’ve tested. As far as what grew the best over the 30 days, I would say the top 4 were Hot Spot, Buck Brunch, No-plow and No BS. I plan on planting 2-3 mini food plots in mid August and will be planting No BS and Hot Spot (waiting a bit longer to decide on the third - maybe Honey Hole or Foundation Clover). There are a lot of good products here and you can check out some of my other food plot videos on Secret Spot and No-plow if you’re interested. Best of luck and let me know how it goes!

[@ronmacdougall9612]

Nice video,I don’t believe it’s rye grass,I think it’s winter rye cereal.

Hey Ron! Thanks for the feedback and for checking out my channel! Best of lu k this season 👍🏻

[@thomastaylor3419]

Definitely both used by different companies. You want cereal rye, rye grass is like your lawn.

Cereal rye will grow about anywhere

Not really a good comparison. I would have used crappy 5 ph dirt like the forest may be

[@mountainbuck]

Yeah maybe next time. All things were equal for the seeds though.

Hot chic 👍🏼

[@mountainbuck]

Hey Liam! Thanks for checking out my channel! Hot Chic is growing up nicely in my follow-up video (currently on day 54)

[@dsbigred]

I agree.. probably beat the top of this bunch because it offers good fall food, and little to no “filler” seed that is essentially useless. It takes a little longer to get the result you want, but planted at the right time, it will be quality food for the time you want deer on your land. Getting green coverage means nothing when it’s ryegrass, unless you are in an area with very poor fall food. This video, and the subsequent ones should be helpful for people to understand that inert matter and ryegrass are worthless for deer when there are quality options like clover and chicory right next to them.

If it has rye grass. It's junk. Period

[@mountainbuck]

Bingo

[@thefall3551]

Terrible test. First of all you are providing a perfect seed bed, not a non tilled piece of ground. Secondly, you are paying for 60% rye in the majority of these mixes which is the cheapest seed you can buy. Better off keeping your plots one type of plant.

[@mountainbuck]

Haha ok bro. Clearly you didn’t watch much of the video and missed some of the salient points. I discuss the contents of each container of seeds (included the seed mix labels), how important it is to take note of the types of seeds you are purchasing and even had a discussion about rye grass. Secondly, this is an experiment I’m conducting with 10 throw and grow mixes and how they produce under the same conditions. It took time, money and effort to complete this video series. My apologies if it wasn’t up to your standard.
