A One-Two Punch

Pure Attraction is a one-two punch for fall and winter food plots. It provides abundant, nutritious forage for fall and winter that grows rapidly and is extremely attractive to deer in both the early and late hunting seasons.

Stage One: Early Season

Stage one of Pure Attraction is Whitetail Oats. Whitetail Oats make a superb forage that's cold tolerant and high in sugar. They're so attractive to deer that university researchers had to remove them from their grain production studies because deer grazed them so heavily.

Stage Two: Late Season

Overlapping with stage one, stage two of Pure Attraction features extremely attractive lettuce-type brassicas. Whitetail Oats attract and hold deer well into late fall. By then, the brassicas are already working to attract deer. They become even sweeter with the frosts of fall, and keep attracting deer through the winter.

Planting

Pure Attraction is designed to be planted during Fall. Select a site with moderately light to medium heavy soils and that receives 3-4 hours of sunlight per day.

Pure Attraction

A one-two punch - Incredible Attraction in both the early and late hunting season.

Sugar Beet 1 Lbs First Quality Non-GMO Sugar Beet Seeds Current Test Data Shown on Packet Exclusive OrOlam Seeds Bulk Seed is Excellent for Immediate Planting or for Long Term Storage as an Emergency Seed About The Sugar Beet In the mid 18th century, a German chemist by the name of Andreas Margraff found that the chemical composition of beets included sucrose similar to that of sugar cane. Sugar cane provided the only source for sugar at that time; consequently, the prices of sugar rose very high because of the necessity of importing it from foreign countries. Franz Karl Achard, one of Margraff's students, continued the research and brought the sugar beet into production for a source of sugar; for his pioneering efforts, he is called the father of the sugar beet industry. When the supply of sugar cane was lost because of war time, Napoleon declared that the sugar beet be grown in large amounts to provide sugar. This established commercial use of the sugar beet, and eventually it grew in almost every country.

User questions & answers

Question:	Square foot coverage per pound
Answer:	If by 'bulk pack' you mean the 32 oz bag (there were six in the order I received), the "Best By" date - not an expiration date - was nine months out from the date I received the cereal. My order arrived in March 2017, the Best By date is January 2018.
Question:	is there any way to verify that these are non-GMO seeds
Answer:	Thank you for your inquiry. We unfortunately are unable to provide expiration dates as we are a food service distributor that constantly rotates inventory as it is sold. Per Amazon's policy we are able to guarantee at least 60 days, unless it is yogurt or dairy as those normally have a shorter shelf life. If you have any other questions please feel free to write back or call.
Question:	Are these seeds pellitized
Answer:	I knew I had to worry about mercury in my fish, fluoride in my water, pesticides on my produce, and smog in my air. But I did not know about microplastics in my salt. Thank goodness now I'm aware. I took a handful of this delicious, mildly spicy, mildly sweet cereal, with crisp flakes that stand up well to milk (sourced from local cows who live wherever they want to and are asked permission to be milked and fairly compensated for their time and effort) and meticulously broke it down element by element, to the molecular level, until I got to the subatomic salt particles. All I saw was healthy, mineral-rich sea salt. The tasty turmeric, however, had a shocking amount of negative vibes that I'm now concerned about. Darn. This *was* my favorite cereal....
Question:	Are there filler seeds or are they all sugar beets
Answer:	Most products have at least one website that shows nutrition facts. I Googled the product name along with the word "nutrition" and found this web page: http://us.naturespath.com/product/heritager-flakes

Provide Cover for Yourself

When it is hunting season, how can you hunt and access the deer without constantly being detected? Wide-open areas are difficult to hunt in since the deer can see you coming from a mile away and will be able to avoid you. These problems can lower the usage of food plot areas and even make an area un-huntable. Instead of having to deal with or workaround such problems, you could eliminate them. Whitetail's Conceal ensures that you are able to hunt without being spotted. Walking through the Conceal plants can help muffle the sound of your steps as well so you are able to more easily sneak up on your prey.

With Conceal, you can create travel corridors where you can move around without being seen.

Conceal is designed to stack the odds in your favor by quickly correcting concealment deficiencies on your property

Provide Cover for Your Deer

Whitetail's Conceal gives the deer on your property a place to hide. Have you ever had neighboring deer hunters see your deer crossing and be tempted to shoot them? That problem will be solved when you provide Conceal for the deer on your land.

Conceal grows to be tall enough to cover deer so they feel safe and stay in the area.

It is also used to provide a bedding area near the food plot and also to surround food plots with cover for the deer.

Plant with Confidence in the Results

Conceal is an annual plant that is designed for planting in the spring.

It features a blend of tall-growing seed varieties, each of which grows to a different height, which produces a thick wall of foliage up to nine feet tall.

Whitetail's Conceal also can be used to create a barrier between your property and your neighbor's property or between food plots to add a way to organize your property and keep crops separated.

Enjoy the Benefits

Whitetail's Conceal attracts deer to your food plot. Planting a food plot can hold the deer in your area and also give the deer the nutrition needed to be healthy and to taste scrumptious. However, if deer do not feel safe in the area for lack of cover, they are much less likely to return to your food plot.

Conceal is attractive to deer as a food source as well. Even so, it is not intended to replace your food plot plantings. Rather its appeal as a food source just draws deer to use your food plots more often.
