Quick Facts

Bulls-Eye was originally used as food for livestock. Large numbers of deer were consistently reported grazing the lush forage, and studies by wildlife biologists confirmed that deer were more attracted to Bulls-Eye than many of their naturally occuring food sources, especially in the fall when most native species are dormant and course. The high nutritive value in Bulls-Eye is retained well after the first frost, and the palatability for deer increases after a frost.

Bulls-Eye performs best when the soil pH is between 6.5 and 7.5 and soil fertility is high. Sprouting usually occurs after 5-10 days depending on soil temperature. Bulls-Eye should be planted at least 60 days before deer season if possible to allow adequate growth. Recommended fertilizer rates are 100 lb N, 50 lb P, and 50 lb K per acre at the time of seeding.
