Autumn Ambush is packed full of cereal grains and peas. It is the workhorse of our recommended system for fall food plots. We recommend planting Autumn Ambush in 50% of your food plot along with a strong brassica mix. Autumn Ambush is a powerful combination of oats, triticale, winter rye, peas, and winter wheat. It is easy to plant and establishes quickly providing quick early season attraction.

The variety of oats we use are able to handle colder temps and make it thru the first couple frosts of the year when other oats have already died out. The past 3 years we have had deer utilizing our testing plots well into November.

Winter peas make a great addition to the oats for early archery season attraction. In fact, deer love peas just as much as oats. Like our oats the pea variety we have chosen is extremely cold tolerant.

Triticale, winter rye, and winter wheat provide forage from September thru December. All three germinate quickly, are digested easily, and are an excellent source of protein. They winter well and the following spring they are one of the first green food sources available to whitetails. In late winter and early spring our plots are full of deer eager for a change after eating woody browse during the colder months. Rye also helps to suppress weeds the following year.

Planting rate is 50 pounds per half acre and 100 pounds for 1 acre.

You can also overseed 2-3 weeks later with 50-100 pounds of winter rye per acre.

We also recommend adding our Forage Add On package consisting of radishes and 3 different clovers for extra forage, attraction, and diversity.
