Buck Forage Oats 50 lbs

Buck Forage Oats are a specific type of winter-hardy oat bred for use in food plots to attract deer and other wildlife. They are a popular choice for hunters because they remain palatable and tender longer than standard oats. 

• High palatability: Decades of breeding and testing have produced a forage that deer prefer over other small grains.
• Late-season attraction: The oats are designed to remain green and tender late into the fall and early winter, long after many other food sources have dried up or become less palatable.
• Nutritious forage: Buck Forage Oats are a high-quality food source for deer, with a protein content of at least 18%.
• Winter tolerance: The seeds are specifically bred to withstand hard freezes, keeping them productive longer into the cold season. In the upper Midwest, they may eventually winterkill but will stay green through the hunting season.
• Forage growth pattern: They germinate quickly but are slower to develop the thick, stemmy growth that deer find less palatable and digestible. 

• Planting season: Buck Forage Oats are typically planted in late summer or fall, though they can also be planted in the spring.
• Ideal conditions: They perform best in well-drained, fertile soil.
• Method: Seeds should be planted 1 to 2 inches deep. Some hunters mix them with forage peas for a heartier food plot.
• Target game: While most commonly associated with whitetail deer, the oats can also attract other wildlife, such as turkey.
