The Science Behind Plotmaster’s MAXX Blends: 25 Years of Proven Success
Plant smarter. Attract more deer. Grow bigger racks. That’s the Plotmaster way.
Since 1999, Plotmaster® has set the standard for all-in-one food plot systems and premium seed blends designed for serious hunters and land managers. Founded by Blaine Burley, an avid outdoorsman and wildlife manager, Plotmaster was born from a simple goal: to make planting food plots easier, faster, and more effective for every hunter.
For over 25 years, Blaine has perfected this system on 7,000+ acres of managed land at Woods-N-Water in Georgia. These are the same plots, soil types, and hunting conditions where MAXX Draw™ and MAXX Racks™ blends were tested, refined, and proven to produce results season after season. When you plant Plotmaster seed, you’re using the same blends trusted by one of the Southeast’s most successful outfitters.
Why MAXX Blends Work When Others Don’t
Most food plot blends overpromise and underdeliver. They either attract deer for a short window, lack year-round nutrition, or fail in poor soil conditions. MAXX™ blends were designed differently, combining multi-stage attraction, maximum nutrition, and proven adaptability to keep deer on your property longer.
MAXX DRAW™
The ultimate attraction blend designed to pull deer in fast and keep them coming back, MAXX Draw uses a carefully selected mix of:
- Forage Oats (Coker 227): Quick germination, early attraction
- Triticale (HyOctane): Cold tolerance, extended draw window
- Winter Peas (Survivor variety): Sweet, high-protein early-season magnet
- Clovers (Yellow Sweet, Frosty Berseem): Persistent attraction throughout fall
- Brassicas (Purple Top Turnips): Late-season sugar surge deer can’t resist
Best for: Hunters wanting fast attraction and long-lasting draw power.
MAXX RACKS™
Premium nutrition blend packed with protein, energy, and minerals, MAXX Racks was engineered to grow bigger, healthier deer all year long:
- Nutrient-Rich Clovers (Arrowleaf, Dixie, Balansa, Frosty): 25%+ protein, supports antler growth
- Brassicas (Daikon Radish, Turnips, Collards): High-energy carbs for rut recovery
- High-Protein Chicory: Drought-tolerant, deep roots, 30%+ protein
Best for: Land managers focused on year-round herd health and antler development.
The Science of Multi-Stage Attraction
Unlike generic blends, MAXX seeds were intentionally chosen to work together across seasons:
Season |
Species at Peak |
Benefit to Deer |
Early Fall |
Oats + Peas |
Quick draw, instant attraction |
Mid Fall |
Triticale + Clovers |
Sustained nutrition + bedding pull |
Late Fall/Winter |
Brassicas |
Sugar conversion in cold temps keeps deer feeding |
Spring/Summer |
Chicory + Clovers |
Antler growth + lactation support |
This “layered attraction system” ensures that your plots stay green, palatable, and nutrient-dense, keeping deer on your land while surrounding properties go dry.
Proven on 7,000+ Acres of Georgia Land
At Woods-N-Water, Blaine has been refining Plotmaster seed and equipment for over two decades. Every MAXX blend was tested under real hunting conditions, across clay-heavy soils, drought cycles, and heavy deer pressure.
“When we design a blend, it isn’t theory. It’s decades of boots-on-the-ground testing.”
-Blaine Burley, Founder and President, Plotmaster Systems
This proven track record is why Plotmaster has become the trusted choice for outfitters, land managers, and serious hunters nationwide.
