Hey fellas. I thought full draw was good stuff so I planted about 1/8th of an acre behind the house here. It has all but come up good and would shoot up if we got some rain but I read on another site wallago that they have not seen good results with full draw biologic. Anybody know anything good about it? Thanks in advance so I know to plant something else next year.-tim

Tim, I know here in Michigan it really draws in the deer. Not sure about your area, but here it works.

As with any plant, there are several factors that make a succesful food plot. The most important is soil pH! Poor pH will make plants bitter & not edible to wildlife. Type soil, climate, & shade are also important. Another factor is whether there are other, more palatible, food sources for the deer.
Ask a local wildlife biologist what plants deer prefer in your area. Also, before planting, get a soil test to determine if lime is needed (or other trace elements).
