Growth Results This is the third year we've planted this blend and we keep going back to it because it's such a strong performer. This year was no exception. We did lime for the first time in two years and we fertilized per our soil test. The growth was fast on the oats and exceptional into November. |

Activity Results Early season activity was excellent, again on this plot. This remained our best plot for daylight activity. Unlike last year, we had several mature bucks captured on trail cam here. For sheer quantity of daylight activity this was our top plot until December when the brassicas ruled that category. |

Comments I continue to like this blend, it grows very well, draws deer immediately, and keeps them coming back. Our #1 buck showed up here in broad daylight during the early season and that turned out to be the only daylight photo we had of him in any plot during the hunting season. |
