Mossy Oak BioLogic® offers a science-driven suite of wildlife planting solutions—covering deer, turkey, waterfowl, upland birds, and fish—from the growing season through hunting season.

Biologic deer plot options are included in their offerings, providing precision nutrition and forage designed to attract wildlife all year long. Whether you’re managing habitat on a quarter-acre or dozens, Mossy Oak BioLogic delivers what you need.

BioLogic Origins: Hunter Passion Meets Wildlife Science

  • Co‑founded by Toxey Haas, founder of Mossy Oak, and Dr. Grant Woods, wildlife researcher, BioLogic launched in 1999 to revolutionize food plot design for whitetail deer.
  • Built on a New Zealand‑inspired deer research model, a 7‑year study demonstrated that planting just 0.5% of a property with high‑quality forage dramatically improved body weight and antler growth in whitetails—and doubling that planting acreage delivered even greater returns.
  • Today Mossy Oak BioLogic is considered the gold standard for wildlife planting blends, combining research-driven genetics, nutrition, and wildlife behavior insight.

Flagship Blends: Seed Mixes That Deliver

Hot Spot™ Blend

  • Fast‑germinating annual blend of winter peas, wheat, and buckwheat.
  • Ideal for creating stand locations into feeding “hot spots.” Easy to plant using only simple tools.
  • Nutritionally dense (38% crude protein, over 80% digestibility) and pre-inoculated, it’s a low-labor, high-return option.

Perfect Plot™

  • Perennial-based mix with red and white clover, alfalfa, chicory, peas, and brassicas.
  • Supports year-round forage, balanced nutrition, and multi-season persistence with supplemental annuals.

Brassica‑Focused Blends

  • Varieties like Final Forage, Maximum, Deer Radish, and Winter Bulbs provide exceptional fall/winter tonnage and deer nutrition.
  • These products leverage high‑yield brassicas capable of delivering up to 10 tons per acre in optimal conditions.

Non‑Typical Clover

  • Produces large leaves (size of a 50¢ piece), blooms late to extend forage period by 6–8 weeks.
  • Effective for deer and turkey, lasting 5–6 years with proper management (mowing, fertilizing, weed control).

Research & Genetics: Why BioLogic Stands Apart

  • Developed in partnership with PGG Wrightson, New Zealand’s top forage research provider, BioLogic uses elite cultivars specifically selected for deer preference, palatability, nutrient content, and site adaptability.
  • The original research emphasized small-plot high-nutrition strategy—planting less than 1% of acreage drives measurable deer performance improvements. Doubling plot acreage scaled benefits linearly.
  • BioLogic’s development team, including researchers and wildlife biologists, continually refine blends based on field observations and hunter feedback.

Best Practices: Soil, Planting & Management

  • Soil testing & preparation: Assess pH and nutrient levels—adjust for optimal root development.
  • Timing: Spring or early fall plantings maximize germination and seasonal attraction.
  • Plot size & placement: Even a quarter-acre near stands works, but multiple adjacent plots increase herd activity and yield better results.
  • Maintenance: Rotate plantings annually, mow to suppress weeds, fertilize as needed, and re-seed perennials every 3–5 years depending on performance.

Habitat Beyond Plots: BioLogic and Mossy Oak Conservation

  • BioLogic works alongside Nativ Nurseries, which produces native oaks, chestnuts, fruit trees, grasses, and shrubs selected for wildlife mast production, palatability, and adaptability to site conditions.
  • Mossy Oak’s broader conservation focus includes habitat restoration, predator balance, pond management, and real‑world landowner education via content and GameKeepers magazine.

Brand Strength & Legacy

  • Toxey Haas’ vision: Starting with a handful of dirt-inspired camo, now evolved into a comprehensive outdoor lifestyle and land‑management brand emphasizing habitat, conservation, and wildlife performance.
  • BioLogic is emblematic of Mossy Oak’s commitment to evidence-based wildlife solutions, earned by two decades of rigorous research, field testing, and real‑world landowner success.
