HIT LIST SEED 10 lb Alfalfa & Clover Food Plot Mix - Perennial

Our review of the HIT LIST SEED 10 lb Alfalfa & Clover Food Plot Mix finds it best for landowners and hunters wanting a perennial, high-protein forage to attract deer through multiple seasons. The single biggest reason to buy is the blend formula: Ladino clover, red clover, crimson clover, alfalfa and chicory create a durable, attractive stand that returns year after year and provides the protein deer need to add mass. This review focuses on planting timing, durability and real-world results reported by customers.

Key Features

• Perennial blend: The mix is designed to come back year after year, reducing the need for annual replanting and maintaining consistent forage.
• High protein forage: Contains muscle building protein that helps add mass to whitetails, blacktails and mule deer through the growing season.
• Versatile planting: Can be planted in spring or fall so land managers can time establishment for local climate conditions.
• Drought tolerant: The blend tolerates less than ideal soils and drought better than some single-species plots, improving survival in marginal ground.
• Nitrogen fixing: Clover components help fixate nitrogen in the soil, which benefits overall plot vigor and soil health.

Who It's For

This seed mix is aimed at hunters, small acreage landowners and wildlife managers who want a perennial food plot that offers sustained attraction and nutritional value for deer. It suits those who prefer a mixed-species stand that supports both early season growth and late season forage.

It may be less ideal for someone who needs rapid, uniform groundcover in just a few weeks or for sites with severe germination challenges; customers reported mixed germination and coverage in some cases, so extremely poor soil or inconsistent planting technique may require additional soil preparation or overseeding.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Attractive, high-protein forage that helps add mass to deer and draws consistent use.
• Perennial composition reduces replanting frequency and supports longer-term plots.
• Drought tolerance and nitrogen fixation improve resilience in marginal soils.
• Flexible spring or fall planting window fits most management schedules.

Cons

• Germination and coverage were mixed in customer reports, so results can vary by site and preparation.
• Some users expected faster or fuller early coverage, which did not always occur without good seedbed prep.
