What is BioLogic Last Bite?
BioLogic Last Bite is a premium deer food plot seed blend designed to provide whitetail deer with high-quality forage throughout hunting season. Created by Mossy Oak BioLogic in collaboration with Drury Outdoors, this mix is carefully engineered to deliver early attraction and late-season nutrition.
The BioLogic Last Bite seed blend contains cold-tolerant oats, soft winter wheat, forage triticale, annual clovers, and two stages of brassicas. Together, these crops form a diverse food source that attracts deer from opening day of bow season through the final days of gun season.
Key Benefits of BioLogic Last Bite
Early Season Attraction
Oats and wheat sprout quickly, drawing deer into the plot early in the season. The tender young growth is highly palatable, giving hunters a reliable spot for early encounters.
Mid-Season Nutrition
Forage triticale and annual clovers carry the nutrition into mid-fall. The protein content can reach up to 38%, helping whitetail bucks recover from the rut and maintain antler growth, while also supporting does and fawns.
Late Season Draw
Dual-maturity brassicas provide energy-rich forage well into winter. After the first frost, sugars in the brassicas increase, making them even more attractive when natural browse is limited.
How to Plant BioLogic Last Bite
Soil Preparation
- Ideal soil pH: 5.8 to 7.0
- Fertilizer recommendation: 350–400 lbs of 13-13-13 per acre
- Ensure proper weed control before planting
Planting Depth and Rate
- Plant seeds ¼ inch deep or less for best germination
- Recommended seeding rate: 45 lbs per acre
Sunlight and Moisture
- Requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day
- Performs best with consistent moisture but should not be waterlogged
Seasonal Strategy with BioLogic Last Bite
Northern Zone
Plant in late summer to allow brassicas and grains to establish before the first hard frost. This timing ensures forage availability into deep winter.
Transitional Zones
Late summer to early fall planting works best. The mix thrives in transitional climates, balancing both early-season grains and late-season brassicas.
Southern States
Plant in fall when temperatures cool. Milder winters allow longer forage availability, keeping deer in the plots through rut and post-rut.
Managing a BioLogic Last Bite Food Plot
Fertility Management for
Monitor nitrogen levels and reapply fertilizer if plants appear yellow or stunted. Supplemental micronutrients like boron and sulfur improve brassica growth.
Weed and Browse Control in BioLogic Last Bite Plots
Weed pressure early on can suppress growth. Light herbicide use or mechanical weed control before planting ensures maximum performance. In areas with high deer density, temporary fencing may be required during establishment.
Extending the Life of BioLogic Last Bite
Overseed with clover or chicory in spring to carry the food source beyond hunting season. Crop rotation every two years also improves soil health.
Comparing BioLogic Last Bite to Other Food Plot Blends
BioLogic Last Bite vs Pure Clover Plots
- Last Bite offers year-round diversity, while pure clover declines after flowering.
- Clover is cheaper and perennial, but not as attractive late season.
BioLogic Last Bite vs Brassica-Only Mixes
- Last Bite balances early and late attraction, reducing risk.
- Brassica-only food plots can yield higher tonnage in deep winter but lack early appeal.
BioLogic Last Bite vs Grain Mixes
- Grains alone provide early draw but fade quickly.
- BioLogic Last Bite maintains attraction across multiple months.
Common Mistakes When Planting BioLogic Last Bite
- Planting too late for your region, leading to poor establishment.
- Ignoring soil pH and fertility needs.
- Seeding too deep, which prevents germination.
- Allowing weeds to outcompete young seedlings.
- Overgrazing from deer before plots are established.
