Are you looking for a food plot planting that can handle high temperatures, dry conditions of Summer, and the occasional drought? Summer Draw is exactly that plus your deer will love it. We added chicory to our already powerful Supreme Clover blend to make it even better! After multiple years of testing and planting on our own properties that we hunt we couldn’t be any happier with the results.
This combination is the perfect complement to an overall whitetail nutrition program consisting of woody browse, natural forbes, hard mast (acorns, chestnuts, etc.), and soft mast (apples, pears, crabapples, etc.). It can also strengthen a well-rounded food plot program with diversity when included with fall plantings of cereal grains and brassicas.
Clover and chicory are both highly nutritious, easily digested, and preferred by deer when it is available to them. Nursing does, fawns, and bucks all benefit from this type of planting. This blend will handle high browse pressure even if your goal is attracting more deer to your property to increase your deer numbers for hunting season.
Planting rate is 8 pounds per acre.
We like to establish Summer Draw with a late Summer or early Fall planting of cereal grains. The grains will feed the deer throughout the hunting season then the following Spring the clover and chicory will be ready to feed deer for multiple seasons. You can also frost seed in the Spring.
