Grow Bigger Deer. Attract More Bucks. Maximize Your Hunting Success. Antler King’s Honey Hole is an elite fall and winter food plot mix, specifically engineered to provide an irresistible, high-energy food source that will draw deer in and keep them on your property all season long. With its unique blend of brassicas and our innovative Ultra Coat Orange fertilizer technology, Honey Hole helps ensure that your deer herd gets the vital nutrition it needs to thrive, resulting in healthier deer and more successful hunts. What is Honey Hole? Honey Hole is a meticulously crafted annual food plot mix featuring three varieties of rape and one variety of turnip. And these are not your standard seeds: Each seed is treated with Antler King’s proprietary Ultra Coat Orange seed coating. This advanced coating is designed to boost germination rates, improve seedling vigor, and increase forage yield, giving you a thicker, more productive plot even in challenging conditions. We engineered this seed mix specifically to appeal to deer when the temperature drops; after the first hard frost, the plants convert their starches into highly palatable sugars, making them an irresistible late-season attraction for deer. Benefits for Your Deer & Your Hunt Honey Hole delivers a powerful dual benefit, significantly impacting both your deer herd’s health and your hunting success: For Your Deer: Superior Nutrition: Provides 16-22% protein in its leafy greens, crucial for antler growth, muscle development, and overall body condition. High Energy: Converts to 4% gross energy after frost, on par with corn, offering a vital energy boost to help deer through the harsh winter months. Consistent Food Source: Offers a highly palatable and digestible food source that holds deer on your property from fall through winter. For the Land Manager: Strong Attraction: Creates a powerful pull to draw deer from neighboring properties directly to your hunting grounds. Increased Success: Rather than having to scout where the deer are traveling through the woods, pulling them toward you with Honey Hole improves your chances for successful hunts throughout the fall and winter without increasing your scouting. Easy to Grow: Honey Hole performs best with a 6.0 – 7.0 pH, but is tolerant of a wide range of soil conditions (pH 5.5-6.5) and can be planted with minimal or no tilling, simplifying your plot management. Maximized Yield: Ultra Coat Orange provides a higher germination rate and increased forage, giving you more bang for your buck and more food for your deer. Planting & Usage Instructions For best results, plan to plant your Honey Hole plot late summer to early fall, ensuring your deer have a mature, palatable food source when they need it most. Site Selection: Choose an area that receives full sun. While Honey Hole is tolerant to differing conditions, well-drained soil is ideal. Soil Preparation: For optimal results, conduct a soil test. Apply lime as recommended to achieve a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Seedbed Preparation: Clear away existing vegetation. Honey Hole can be planted in a prepared seedbed (lightly tilled) or in a no-till scenario where weeds are sprayed down. Ensure a firm seedbed. Planting: Spread the seeds evenly at a rate of 3 lbs per 1/2 acre. Do not plant deeper than 1/4 inch. Lightly cultipack or roll the area after planting for better seed-to-soil contact. Moisture: Adequate moisture is crucial for germination and early growth. If possible, plant soon before a rain. Why Choose Antler King Honey Hole?

Common Questions & Antler King’s Solution Q: My food plots often fail or don’t produce much forage. How is Honey Hole different? A: We understand the frustration of failed plots. Honey Hole combats this with its Ultra Coat Orange technology, which increases germination success and seedling vigor. This means a more robust, higher-yielding plot for you, even in less-than-perfect conditions. Plus, its inherent durability allows it to thrive in a wider range of soil types. Q: Will deer actually eat brassicas, especially later in the season? A: Absolutely! While some deer may take time to adapt to new food sources, Honey Hole’s specific brassica varieties are chosen for their palatability. After the first hard frost, the starches in the plants convert to sugars, making them highly attractive and readily consumed by deer seeking energy in the late fall and winter. You may see deer literally dig through snow to access Honey Hole. Q: Is Honey Hole difficult to plant or maintain? A: Not at all. Honey Hole is designed for ease of use. It’s tolerant of various soil conditions and can even be planted with minimal or no tilling, making it accessible for landowners of all experience levels. Ensure proper seed-to-soil contact for the best results. What Hunters Are Saying “I planted my first plots in Antler King Honey Hole since Steve Bartylla talks so highly of it. I planted four of my ten plots in it this year 2020. It was used to some extent before it got really cold, but once it got down to below 32 degrees, the deer started hammering it. And in December it pulled so many doe and big bucks in. On Christmas Eve, I shot the biggest buck of my life with a muzzle loader. Just 50 yards in front of my stand. His name was “The Beast,” and I had to wait five minutes for him to finally lift his head from eating the Honey Hole turnips and turn broadside. I’m sold!!! The Beast has about 25 points, he is a non-typical with drop tines and I’m told he may be in contention for the Nebraska muzzleloader record. I’d share photos if I could… Daron” — Daron Smith – December 28, 2020 “Was the first time using this product last year. Unfortunately, in my neck of the woods we experienced a drought. The plants that did survive grew enough to produce enough that the deer still ate the plants to the ground. Walking through the plot late season with inches of snow on top the deer are still trying to dig up the turnips. I would defiantly recommend this product to anyone wanting to create an awesome kill plot!” — Peter Thies – February 4, 2021 Get Your Honey Hole Today! Don’t wait until it’s too late.
