Big Tine is a brand based in Rockville, Indiana, specializing in nutritional supplements, attractants, and food-plot seed products for whitetail deer management. Distributed by Scott Pet Products, Big Tine focuses on delivering balanced nutrition along with attractant qualities to support deer health and encourage site visitation.
Product Overview
Fortified Deer Blend
This is Big Tine’s core feed product, combining whole grains such as corn, sunflower seeds, and milo with added vitamins and minerals. It includes Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, chelated trace minerals, antioxidants, and a proprietary Cherry Rush scent. The formula is designed to supply key nutrients that support antler development, immune system function, and overall herd health. Fortified Deer Blend is available in 40-pound bags or in bulk pallets to suit varying management needs.
NITRO Mineral and Vitamin Supplement
NITRO is a granular or block supplement aimed at providing organic trace minerals, including zinc, manganese, copper, cobalt, and selenium, along with a vitamin package. The formulation is designed to support nutrient absorption and metabolic health for deer that are already feeding on natural browse or other supplements. The goal is to help maintain consistent mineral intake year-round.
Platinum Blend
Platinum Blend combines the Fortified Deer Blend base with the NITRO mineral formula and an additive called TRIAD Opti-Rumen. This additive is intended to support rumen health and optimize nutrient absorption. The blend aims to provide a more comprehensive nutritional profile for deer managers seeking an all-in-one feeding solution.
Cherry-Scented Attractants
Big Tine also produces a range of attractant products that use its signature cherry aroma. These include Cherry On Top, a corn coating, and Happy Hour, a liquid attractant. Both are designed to be added to feed or bait sites to increase deer activity and site retention.
Food-Plot Seed Mixes
For land managers interested in planting forage, Big Tine offers seed blends such as Borderline. This annual mix is formulated to create tall cover—sometimes exceeding 10 feet in height—to serve as travel corridors, bedding cover, or screening for food plots. Other mixes in their lineup are designed to deliver nutritional forage throughout the growing season.
Approach to Sourcing and Production
Big Tine’s feed products use grains sourced primarily from local Indiana farms. The company emphasizes traceability and quality control in its production process. Its formulations are developed to combine palatability with nutritional content, aiming to help land managers maintain healthy deer populations with consistent use over time.
Intended Use
Big Tine’s products are marketed for a range of users—from individual hunters supplementing a single feeder location to landowners managing larger properties. The lineup is designed to address different goals, such as improving overall herd health, supporting antler growth, encouraging daytime activity at feeding sites, and creating cover or food sources through food plots.
For those managing whitetail properties or running feeding programs, Big Tine offers a variety of options to help meet specific objectives through a combination of nutrition and attraction. More information about their products can be found at bigtine.com.
