Create the Ultimate Fall Hunting Destination with High-Tonnage Diversity
At Plant & Pursue, our mission is to empower hunters to pursue their passions with confidence, knowledge, and excellence. As summer fades and opening day approaches, land managers often scramble to find a fast-growing food source that will immediately draw deer into bow range. While single-seed plots have their place, whitetails are natural browsers that crave variety.
If you want to create a magnetic, fast-growing kill plot that completely changes the way deer use your property this fall, you need a diverse buffet. Enter Real World’s Harvest Salad—the foundational half of the legendary "Deadly Dozen" food plot strategy.
What It Is: Harvest Salad is a highly engineered, premium fall-planted annual blend. It is packed with a scientifically proven ratio of winter oats, winter wheat, winter rye, Austrian winter peas, and select forage brassicas. It is designed to germinate quickly, grow rapidly, and provide massive amounts of palatable forage in a very short amount of time.
The "Deadly Dozen" & Multi-Stage Attraction: The true power of Harvest Salad lies in its layered timeline of attraction. During the early archery season, deer will hammer the sweet winter oats and high-protein Austrian winter peas. As the season progresses and the first heavy frosts hit, the starches in the brassicas convert to sugar, creating a secondary explosion of attraction that carries you right through the late gun and muzzleloader seasons.
Want to take it to the next level? Harvest Salad makes up the base of Real World's famous "Deadly Dozen" plot. By planting Harvest Salad and top-dressing it with Real World's Plot Topper, you provide your herd with a staggering 12 different plant species in a single plot, ensuring maximum attraction from opening day through the bitter end of the season.

Pro Tip from Plant & Pursue: Expert education translates to better harvests. Timing is everything with cereal grain blends! Do not plant Harvest Salad too early in the summer. If planted too soon, the grains will grow too tall, become stemmy, and lose their palatability before hunting season even starts. Wait until late summer or early fall (roughly 30 to 45 days before your first average frost) and try to time your planting just before a solid rainstorm. To create the ultimate Deadly Dozen plot, simply broadcast Real World's Plot Topper directly over your Harvest Salad right before that rain hits!
