    I think I am going to put some of this in the ground. Anyone had any luck with it?

    I haven't tried their Honey Hole line but I was very pleased with the results of Antler King's Trophy Clover Mix and I wouldn't hesitate to try some of their other products. I had minimal sunlight and didn't even till, I just used a rake to clear away the leaves and planted in the woods and it grew just fine, I can only imagine if I had tilled and planted in a spot that gets good sunlight. Like any plot, do your homework, check the soil, and do it right. As for Antler King, I was happy I chose them and would gladly try another one of their products.

    I planted honey hole last year, it grew almost waist high for me. I didn't have a lot of action in the plot but the deer have lots of food choices in my area. I would not hesitate to try it again.

    I used some honey hole last year and was very pleased with the results. It grew with minimal effort on my part and the deer seemed to really enjoy it.

    Do a soil test and if between 6.5 and 7 you should be good. They recommend 19-19-19 fertilizer at 300 lbs per acre. You can get away with 10-10-10 if that all you can find. If you follow the instructions on the bag you should be fine. You can plant it earlier but I have found if you plant it in the fall deer seem to like it better. Also it helps keep them fed through the late season after beans and corn are normally cut and gone.

    Yep, planted it last year and came up great, deer used it late season quite a bit.
