WE LOVE USING THIS MIX TO "BREAK UP" FOOD PLOTS OR CREATE "FOOD PLOT ARCHITECTURE" BECAUSE IT BREAKS UP SIGHT LINES, PROVIDES A SECURITY BLANKET AND ALSO OFFERS FOOD FOR YOUR DEER TO BROWSE ON AS THEY MOVE THROUGH YOUR PLOTS.  DIRTY BIRD IS THE PERFECT MIX TO ADD TO YOUR HUNTING PROPERTY OR HABITAT PLAN!
