WHD EARLY SEASON BLEND 

WHD Early Season Blend is our own blend of seeds that is a great option to plant around the middle of August and it

gives the deer a great candy crop till the first frost. The deer love the late planted Forage Soybeans, Winter Peas, and Winter Oats throughout the early season. These 3 products coexist and grow with each other and do not suffocate each other. We recommend planting it at the rate of 100 to 150 lbs per acre depending on your soil and deer herd numbers. It is then recommended to top-dress this product on the first of September with the WHD Late Season Blend at the rate of 200 lbs per acre. That will give the deer a variety of 3 forage options in the early season and then also 3 forage options in the late season in the same food plot!

WHD LATE SEASON BLEND

  Heavy Browse Tolerant  

WHD Late Season Blend is a mix of Cereal Grains that include Winter Rye (Grain), Winter Wheat, and Winter Barley. It is designed to maximize every square inch in your food plot and will be heavy browse tolerant for your farm where you have a lot of deer. If you have a plot that is usually overgrazed or you can’t grow enough food for the deer, then WHD Late Season Blend is your best bet to have the maximum amount of greens. This is an easy-to-grow blend that grows in a variety of soils or low PH soils and it gives your deer herd an excellent green food source through Fall & Winter. It is also a great cover crop option if broadcasted into your already brown soybeans or corn plots. You can plant alone at 250 to 300 lbs per acre or top seed into the WHD Early Season Blend at 200 lbs per acre.

WHD BRASSICA BLEND 

WHD Brassica Blend is made up of 8 different types of brassicas which include turnips, radishes, rapes, and kale . This blend does best if planted late July to early August in most areas and is an unbelievable fall food source. One very important element that any type of brassica needs is plenty of sunlight. It is not shade tolerant. The large and leafy brassicas will provide tons of nutritious leafy forage that will become sweeter after a hard frost. When the leaves are all gone deer will paw and eat the turnips right out of the ground. WHD Brassica Blend is an easy to grow blend that will draw deer during the hunting season and also provide nutrition during the colder months of late season. We have great success with broadcasting our WHD Perennial Clover blend onto these plots at the time of planting! The clovers will establish under the brassicas in the fall food plot and then will grow in the spring and supply you with a clover plot for Spring and Summer. That gives you a dual benefit at one time of planting!

WHD FALL BUFFET

WHD Fall Buffet is a highly attractive fall annual that has a wide variety of plants that mature at different times throughout the hunting season. The winter rye and winter wheat will grow first to give the deer instant food that they prefer. After that our blend of fast growing brassicas which include rape, radishs, purple tops & forage brassicas will grow along with the winter peas and clover to keep the deer coming back throughout the entire hunting season. This blend works great for those honey hole food plots that get medium to heavy deer browse. Add in our WHD Perennial Clover Blend at planting to have a nice lush clover plot the following spring & summer. Preferred planting date is late August to early September.

WHD QUICK CLOVER

WHD Quick Clover is a blend of fast growing annual and bi-annual clovers formulated to provide a cover crop for any plot that you intend to to plant a Fall food source such as WHD Brassica Blend, WHD Fall Buffet, and WHD Early Season Blend. The WHD Quick Clover can be planted in the Spring and then is plowed under as “Green Manure” when you are ready to plant your Fall plot. When the clover is plowed under, the buried plants will act as green manure for your plot. As the plants decay they will provide beneficial organic matter for your soil along with other much needed nutrients. WHD Quick Clover is made up of a lot more red clovers then the WHD Perennial Clover has. So it is also a really good mixture for your Spring Turkey plot.

WHD QUICK WALL

An incredible quick growing, annual screening product, WHD Quick Wall is a blend that is easy to plant and can help you get up to 12’ tall screening the first year. It can be used in many different scenarios like screening your food plot from the road or neighbors, creating a pinch point in your food plot and most importantly hiding your access to and from your blind or treestand. This is a great product to plant alongside your permanent screening option, like switchgrass or miscanthus, for the first couple years while you wait for those perennials to mature. WHD Quick Wall is made with a blend of products that are designed to help and support each other in withstanding the wind and elements. To assure yourself of the best results on getting a good screen, it should be planted at least 15 feet wide and needs plenty of sunlight and fertilizer so it stays sturdy and resilient. If you need a screen in one year, WHD Quick Wall will do the job for you.

WHD SOIL BOOST

WHD Soil Boost is a blend of Buckwheat, Oats, Sunhemp, Nitro-Radish, a small percentage of Rye Grass and 3-Fast growing Annual Clovers. Soil Boost was designed to plant into bare soil from early spring to early summer to help with soil erosion and help to build your nitrogen and organic matter within the soil. This blend will help to boost all your natural values while still providing a great summer food source to the deer, turkeys, and other wildlife before planting your fall food plot. WHD Soil Boost works great for newly created or cleared food plots due to most of the products having a really fast establishing root system to stop erosion. This blend does best with plenty of sunlight and can be planted with a no-till drill or by working the ground, spreading seed then using culti-packer or drag to get a good seed to soil contact. So, if you have a freshly cleared food plot or if your existing plot just needs a boost, WHD Soil Boost is a do-it-all for you.

WHD TRAIL GREENS

WHD Trail Greens is your ultimate shade tolerant blend to be broadcast onto any of your ATV/Driving or logging trails. It is a quick germinating blend so it will help to stop erosion as quickly as possible. Therefore you can help prevent those major ruts in your access paths. WHD Trail Greens is also a really good green cover option if you have a little area in the woods like around your pond/water hole or in a WHD rut hub. To create WHD Trail Greens, the correct blend of grasses and clover were hand picked to be shade tolerant and withstand heavy traffic of your access paths. This blend will grow in most soil types and conditions. It does the best if planted in spring or fall.

NUTRI-CRAVE HI OIL CORN 

Real World Wildlife Products has tested numerous corn varieties over the past decade looking for a

variety that would stand out from other varieties in terms of nutrient content/attraction, and compliment our soybeans. Finally, it has been found! The “Nutri-Crave” corn has higher levels of all major nutrients found in corn and also attracts hungry deer better than any other corn that has been tested. In 2020, Nutri-Crave 109-day corn had 11.12% protein and 12.97% fat. Corn from a nearby ag field tested at 6.86% protein and 3.86% fat. Real World’s Nutri-Crave corn also had better figures for phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, sulfur, zinc, iron and manganese. Another huge advantage is in total calories, where Nutri-Crave corn has 225% more calories than the same volume of typical field corn. Just imagine what this means to deer feeding on Nutri-Crave corn during the winter! Most importantly, deer showed a very strong preference to Nutri-Crave corn compared to all other varieties tested. Real World’s Nutri-Crave corn is non-GMO, (at this time, we do not offer this in the Roundup Ready variety). If you grow corn in your food-plots or for livestock feed, you really need to try Nutri-Crave corn!

REAL WORLD GEN 2 SOYBEANS 

Real Worlds new “Generation-2” soybeans is a blend of 4 different soybean varieties with maturities ranging from 4.0 to 5.4 and are better for wildlife food plots than other soybeans for these reasons:

- They produce a tremendous amount of forage and grain to feed your deer throughout the entire hunting season. Forage soybeans often die and provide nothing after the first frost.

- They are shatter resistant, meaning the soybean grain will stay within the pods where deer can readily consume it.

- They are higher in oil content than most other soybean varieties. High-oil soybeans are more attractive to hungry whitetails and provide higher levels of important nutrients. The Real World Gen 2 Soybeans are also “glyphosate tolerant” meaning that you can spray glyphosate herbicide (Roundup) right

over the top of your soybean plots to keep them weed free.

PERENNIALS

WHD PERENNIAL CLOVER 

WHD Perennial Clover is exactly what the name implies, 100% clover. This is a blend of 7 different clovers and will provide a high protein food source for deer and turkeys from early Spring all the way to the middle of hunting season. The advantage of planting blends is they are more versatile and will thrive in a wider range of conditions and soils making them an ideal choice for most any situation from open fields all the way to shaded areas and woodland trails. This is a great choice for rotational planting with annual blends such as WHD Brassica Blend and also a great choice for frost seeding. Clover adds nitrogen to the soil that is heavily used by many annuals and frost seeding is an effective method for strengthening an existing food plot. It can be planted with little or no tilling as long as the soil exposure is good and the existing vegetation is eliminated. We have a lot of success with broadcasting the WHD Perennial Clover onto our fall WHD Brassica Blend plots. Then with a little frost seeding the following early Spring, you have an excellent Spring/ Summer food source the following year.

WHD ALFA - MAX PLUS

WHD Alfa-Max Plus is a highly attractive perennial blend that is super-packed with protein. It is made up of two different Alfalfa strands that deer absolutely crave: chicory and a small amount of perennial clover. The chicory is a great deer browse and it helps to keep the moisture in the soil. The clover is to give the plot diversity and to fill in open areas where the soil is not as well drained. It will be most attractive to deer from spring to the first frost. For this blend to reach its maximum potential, it needs to be planted in well-drained soils with plenty of sunshine and a PH of around 6.5. In the Spring, you can plant WHD Afla-Max Plus by itself or with Oats. Or you can plant it in fall with a lite cover crop like WHD Brassica Blend or Oats. The cover crop will help that the young growth doesn’t get too much browse pressure.

WHD SWITCHGRASS BLEND

Our WHD Switchgrass Blend is made up of 3 different switchgrass varieties. These strands are selected to support each other to create a thermal break that withstands the harsh winds and winter elements that it is bound to face. Using it for bedding, screening, or travel routes, switchgrass is a very versatile product and very durable once it is mature. When using it for bedding areas, the most important factor is that it is one of the best thermal covers available to wildlife. In the hunting season, when mid to late season comes around and the cold winds start blowing, this is the go-to bedding for a lot of whitetail deer and other wildlife. On screening, it is a really nice thick screen but not as overbearing as some of the tall grasses that are available. When planning on planting Switchgrass it is very important to take the correct steps to eliminate any weed competition with herbicides. Weeds are the biggest factor in an unsuccessful switchgrass planting project. Our team at WHD will lead you through the complete process of how to plant and maintain switchgrass successfully.

REAL WORLD GIANT MISCANTHUS

One of the tallest screening options available, Real World Giant Miscanthus is one of the best screening options when it comes to a long-term scenario. If you have an area where you need some height on your screening option, Real World Giant Miscanthus is the way to go. It is known to have more leaf cover for a longer time into the fall and into the cold winter than any other Miscanthus.
