Whitetail Hill Kill Plot Seed Mix for Deer – 0.33–3 Acre Plots, Brassicas, Clovers & Chicory

Small-Plot Strategy with a Highly Attractive Forage Mix

Designed for compact hunt plots, Whitetail Hill Kill Plot Seed Mix targets 0.33 to 3 acre areas where deer move between daytime cover and larger feeding zones. Each bite-sized plot becomes a dependable waypoint, offering a lush mix of brassicas, clovers, and chicory that deer are drawn to as they travel the landscape. The blend is crafted to endure steady grazing pressure while remaining appealing through the season, helping you turn small plots into reliable daylight opportunities without promising specific outcomes.

The combination of components works together to supply a steady, green lure. Quick-establishing clovers stand up to heavy grazing and tolerate shade, while rape, radish, and rutabaga bring strong flavor and scent appeal that draws deer to stop by on their way to larger food sources. Chicory adds extra texture and nutrition, contributing attribute-rich forage that can persist in partially shaded spots. This multi-species approach is intended to keep the plot vibrant, day after day.

Where this mix excels

• Shade-tolerant forage that can thrive in small, secluded plots
• High attraction from brassicas, clovers, and chicory for ongoing daylight visits
• Robust performance under grazing pressure, helping the plot recover between visits
• Flexible planting for microplots or larger plantings near destination food sources

Planting site and timing guidance

Ideal locations run from full sun to partial shade. The mix behaves well in small microplots or as part of a larger planting scheme. Target a soil pH of 5.5–7.0 with moderate minimum fertility for best results. Regional timing varies by climate: North regions typically plant from July through September, Central regions from August to September, and Southern regions from September to early October.

Plan soil preparation with disc, tiller, or plow, or opt for a no-till approach by using landscape or hand rake to surface the soil. For best seed-to-soil contact, a light drive-over with an ATV before and after planting is recommended. Planting depth should be 1/4 inch or less, and follow-up fertility should align with the Whitetail Hill Soil Test recommendations, available at WhitetailHill.com.

How to maximize the impact

• Prepare the site, seed shallowly, and minimize disturbance after planting
• Use the Whitetail Hill Soil Test to guide fertilization for consistent growth
• Place the plot near existing feeding corridors to create daylight stopping points

Real-world use often shows these small, sheltered plots acting as dependable daylight browse points along deer travel routes. While each plot will perform differently, the mix is engineered to provide attractive, grazing-tolerant forage that can persist through varying weather and grazing pressure. Pairing a kill plot with nearby destination feeds can help deer move through daylight hours with more frequent stops, contributing to a practical hunting strategy rather than a guaranteed outcome.
