In May 2024, I planted a few acres of Bachelor Pad based on the recommended fertilizer application rates. The Bachelor Pad plots received necessary rain for full germination and early growth. The deer herd immediately hammered the Bachelor Pad vegetation blend and I was SOLD!!
Fast forward to July, the Bachelor blend has maintained adequate growth and staved off the constant and consistent deer herd foraging. I'm in amazement of the solid and consistent vegetation growth of Bachelor Pad blend. More importantly, I'm amazed at the results exhibited in my healthy deer herd and substantial antler growth.
Early and adequate rain and fertilization, were key in getting this high quality seed blend up and out of the ground.
I would definitely recommend and look forward to additional plantings of Backwoods products.
Can’t wait to get this in the dirt!! Quality matters!
The deer absolutely love the bachelor pad. My food plots tore up with deer after planting this product
By Far best product we have used on our lease. Deer movement has increased significantly. Can’t wait to replant this year and put it to use!
Here is a product that will help keep those bucks in their bachelor groups. Keeps them coming into the food plot together growing
