Big Tine Buck Brunch: Easy, No-Till Food Plots for Hunters – For hunters looking to establish food plots without the hassle of heavy machinery, Big Tine Buck Brunch offers a simple, effective solution. Designed with a no-till formula, Buck Brunch makes it possible to create small, strategic food plots using only basic hand tools. Whether it’s a clearing near your tree stand, a hidden path through the woods, or a tucked-away corner of a field, Buck Brunch allows hunters to set up attractive plots exactly where they need them.
This mix is formulated to thrive with just 3–4 hours of filtered sunlight per day, making it ideal for shaded or partially covered areas. With proper seed-to-soil contact, Buck Brunch quickly establishes and provides a reliable food source that attracts and holds deer throughout the season. It’s a fall annual planting, but it can also be seeded in the spring as a soil amender.
The seed blend includes turnips, forage rape, forage wheat, white flowering crimson clover, and a winter-hardy annual ryegrass. Together, these species create a plot that’s both highly palatable and resilient, offering consistent attraction during early and late season hunts.
Each 4-pound bag of Buck Brunch covers up to a quarter acre, with a case containing six bags. At just $19.99 per bag, it’s an affordable way to increase hunting opportunities while improving habitat.
Planting is straightforward: clear vegetation, lightly disturb the soil, spread the seed, and ensure good soil contact. For best results, apply 50 pounds of 10-10-10 fertilizer and 150 pounds of pelletized lime at planting. Once the crop reaches 4–6 inches tall, an additional application of nitrogen fertilizer (such as 34-0-0) is recommended.
With its ease of use, shade tolerance, and fast growth, Big Tine Buck Brunch helps hunters establish productive plots in hard-to-reach areas, creating opportunities where deer already feel comfortable.
