Description
Big Buck Hotel is a deer bedding grass seed mix designed to create dense, secure cover for whitetail on your property. It blends tall native grasses with supportive forbs and legumes to provide both concealment and light forage, encouraging deer to bed, stage, and spend more daylight hours in the area.
This mix is centered around popular deer bedding grasses like Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum), Big Bluestem (Andropogon gerardii), and Indiangrass (Sorghastrum nutans), which grow tall and thick to create excellent screening and bedding structure. Supporting species like Virginia Wildrye (Elymus virginicus), Canada Wildrye (Elymus canadensis), Little Bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium), and Sideoats Grama (Bouteloua curtipendula) help fill in the planting, increasing density at multiple heights for better year-round cover. River Oats (Chasmanthium latifolium) and Cluster Fescue (Festuca paradoxa) add diversity and adaptability across varying site conditions.
Though the primary goal is bedding and cover, deer love eating the included forbs and legumes too. Species like Partridge Pea (Chamaecrista fasciculata) and Illinois Bundleflower (Desmanthus illinoensis) offer seasonal forage, while New England Aster (Symphyotrichum novae-angliae), Gray-headed Coneflower (Ratibida pinnata), and Maximilian Sunflower (Helianthus maximilani) support pollinators and add late-season structure.
Adapted to full to partial sun and soils ranging from dry to wet, this deer bedding grass mix establishes into a long-lasting stand ideal for field edges, wildlife corridors, and sanctuary areas. Over time, it develops into thick, secure cover that reduces pressure on surrounding food plots and improves overall habitat use.
For a complete wildlife system, pair Big Buck Hotel with the Big Buck Buffet Food Plot Mix to provide both high-quality forage and dedicated bedding habitat.
