I used the same throw and grow mix on my little 1/18th acre plot I put on a bench up in the mountain. it was the only green within a mile come january. we killed multiple deer off it each year for 2-3 years until I sold the place inclduing my dads first archery deer, and a decent 8 point. Think of it as a small snack for the deer to slow down for or move 50 yards out of their way to get. They wont be walking a mile uphill to get to it, but a buck walking 100 yards in thick stuff, may walk across and scent check for does that are feeding at night on it. We only hunted it during bow season and in january. gave it 2 months to grow and deer to feed without being bothered. also added mineral sight and fake scrapes to try and make it a social hub. plant in sept and fertilize again in November.
