Loaded with a mixture of cold season perennials and annuals, this protein-rich, tonnage producing clover mix is designed for year-round food production and attraction for deer and turkey. By combining special varieties of clover and alfalfa we have created a perennial mix that will establish quickly and last up to 5 years. Comeback kid contains 4 special varieties of clover and 1 variety of alfalfa to create an absolute deer magnet providing forages with protein levels above 30%. When your clover plants begin to flower it signals their maturity, making it a great time to mow the plot down to 6-8”. Periodic mowing helps eliminate unwanted weeds and generates re-growth of the clover and alfalfa, keeping them strong and healthy. It’s during this growth stage that your comeback kid food plot will provide the highest level of nutrition and deer activity. Comeback kid is designed to be the foundation of your food plot program, as it provides the backbone of deer nutrition with it’s high protein forages, will be the first to germinate in the spring and is extremely cold tolerant into the dead of a northern winter…comeback kid can play an integral role in the health of your herd and the success of your food plot program.
Comeback kid is a favorite perennial mix for winter/spring frost seeding as well - which can be a very effective way to "naturally" plant perennials.
Comeback kid has also become one of the most popular mixes for shady backwoods areas and logging roads - since it offers great shade tolerance, longevity and is easy to maintain. For areas with high shade, we recommend planting in the early spring to allow plants to establish strong roots and stems before the leaf canopy develops.
