Fall food plot seed giveaway

[orion]

I have just become a sponsor here with my Habitat business and thought I would offer a couple bags of seed up to the members.
Here is how it will work. Post up on this thread if you are interested in trying out my "Green Fire Mix". I will put all the names that wish to try it in a hat and pull out two names on July 7th. I will then send a bag of "Green Fire Mix" to the two lucky participants, FREE. This way it will give you a couple weeks to get the seed and get it in the ground. I spent a couple years developing this mix and have had great results.
You can check out the mix here-

http://greenfirehabitat.googlepages.com

Look under Green Fire Mix and it will give all the particulars of planting. The only thing I ask is that you plant it this fall, do a good job planting it and send me pictures.

[gunfun13]

I am interested in trying your green fire mix! "Anything free is worth savin up for."

I looked at your page and looks like some good stuff.

[KingSalmon]

I am interested. Please put my name in the hat. What a nice thing you are doing...best of luck to all...looks like some good stuff!

[outdooralex]

I would be interested also, I am going to redo one of my plots and this would be great to try. Thanks

[Liver and Onions]

Add my name to the list. Looks like a good combination to me. Great introduction idea ! Since you are offering the seed for free, this post might get as many responses as that "gay marriage' thread did.

[orion]

I might need a big hat! Good luck to all.

If you look on the testimonial page you will see how some people did with it last year. There have been a lot of deer killed over it, from the UP to southern Michigan, along with some in Tenessee. It seems to work well everywhere.

[thetreestandguy]

this post might get as many responses as that "gay marriage' thread did.

Please don't sign me up for that!:lol:

That's great that we have another Michigan based company in our industry, welcome!

I would shoot for planting by the first of September, that way its nice and green by Oct. 1. The earlier you plant it the bigger the Brassicas will get, making for a food plot that will last further into winter and late bow season.

[Honker]

I'm game for something new.

[jml2]

Please sign me up. Thanks for the generous offer.

[thongg]

please put my name in the hat as well, thanks

[old school]

sign me up, would love to give it a try

[Ed Spin04]

Orion, your blend should work fine in Mich. I plant much winter wheat and for the last dozen or so years have added a small amount of a brassica blend to it. It works every time. Good luck to you and your business Orion. The only suggestion I have is to have your target planting date no earlier than mid August and no later than the first of September. That's only a two week planting window but October first, (bow season) comes up fast and although September 30th is perfect for wheat, (if you are a fARMER) it is a bit late for the brassicas, therfore the compromise late August window.

[orion]

Thanks Ed. You are exactly right with your suggestion on target dates. I just like to give people a larger window to plant. Some of the plots done later in Sept. last year and still did very well, and the further south you are the more likely it is that will be the case. Like I said earlier, the sooner you plant, the bigger the brassicas will get. This can make for a "stemier" plant if planted too early in August, thus limiting use towards the end of Oct. Some guys wanted the larger brassicas, and plant early to have lots of big forage in late Novermber and December. While most look towards that last week in August for planting to give the best bowhunting plot. These are the reasons I suggest the Sept 1st target date. Knowing full well, they will most likely have it in before that. For guys in the UP and Northern lower the August 10 planting may be perfect for their bowhunting needs. Thank you for your suggestion and kind words.

[2englishsetters]

I would like to give it a try as well. Thanks

[Luv2hunteup]

[PioneerMoose]

Please enter my name into the hat. I have been looking for a blend to plant this fall for a late season plot and free seed will definatly be the decision maker. Also after the seed is planted I will then be able to afford a six pack of Guiness to enjoy afterwards.

[Cedar Swamp]

Please add my name to the hat.

Thanks

[dsconnell]

Not sure if it was already asked but i did not see what the blend consisted of? I am assuming some type of brassica as that is what the plot looks like behind the picture..

By the way put me in for this one too!

With the mortgage market not doing so hot right now I will take anything I can get!

[orion]

[QUOTE=dsconnell;2166001]Not sure if it was already asked but i did not see what the blend consisted of? I am assuming some type of brassica as that is what the plot looks like behind the picture..

Its a blend of Wheat, and Brassicas. With each providing for excellent forage at different times through the fall and winter. Formulated to give great nutrition and draw continueing into the next spring.

[weatherby]

Put me in also. I am interested. I also like like the other products you have

[buckhead]

put me in too, thanks!!

[Frantz]

I am interested, please add my name to the hat. Heck, you can add it about 10 times if you could.

[Frantz]

It would be cool if there were more trial options out there for plots. I have some small plot things happening here and it would be nice to run a strip along the woods and have like 10 - $5.00 trial mixes to run from different vendors.

[Playin' Hooky]

Please add me to the draw!

Eric

[Garret]

Please add me as well. I'm wondering how well it will grow in the western U.P. due to the short growing saeaon? I'll take a look at the website after i send this reply to investagate further.

Thanks again,

G-MAN

[wyldkat49766]

I am interested. We have been thinking a lot about putting in a food plot by my blind up in Presque Isle.

My dad clear cut lumbered the area about 10 yrs ago and the trees are finally making good cover but the grassland area can use some help. I would love to try this out.

Thanks for this great offer.

[orion]

Its the 3rd of July today and I will draw this coming Monday morning. I will PM the winners and post their names here. I will ship the winners seed next week, so the seed will be there in time for planting. Good luck to all and have a good 4th of July.:)

[orion]

July 7 is the magical day.................Three more added to the ever increasing bucket.

[P.R.S.F.]

What a great idea :coolgleam

[orion]

Well its the morning of July 7th and I have drew the names of the two winners. Just to let everyone know how I did it, I wrote down the post numbers of every reply in the thread, randomly drew two numbers then went back to the thread to corelate the numbers with the name.

Chevyjam 2001 and The Treestand Guy were the lucky two. I have PM'ed both of them and will send the seed when I get their addresses.

Thank you all for playing. Good luck next year.

[chevyjam2001]

:woohoo1:

[srconnell22]

Thats okay...I'm a winner in my own mind! :lol:

[KingSalmon]

thanks and congrats to the winners

[Airoh]

Thanks Orion
Congrats to Chevyjam 2001 and The Treestand Guy.

[thetreestandguy]

Man, I never win anything! Nothing like the feeling of winning something for free! With that in mind...

I'd like to throw my bag back into the proverbial hunt for some other lucky plotter! There are plenty of other people that are surely more worthy than I am. The next time I'm in the Stanton area I'll be giving John a call to purchase some seed and give it a happy home in one of my newly scorched plots.

Jack

[Liv4Huntin']

Oh...... so then we could have entered more than once? I should have asked first. CONGRATS to the winners! Hope your success in the field grows and GROWS !! :)

~ m ~

[orion]

No you could'nt have entered more than once there were a couple times where I had posted, and other people had asked questions and such. Those numbers were eliminated. Each person was only in one time.

Since Tree Stand Guy so graciously declined the seed. I will draw another number. ........................post #9 = Michbowhunter819.
Congratulations!! I will be sending you a PM.
Thanks again all.
