Stewarding Nature With Wildlife Grass Seed

By Stephanie Wood


Man kills. That is an undeniable truth with significant historical evidence. Man kills, quite well and quite often. Some people kill to protect others. Others kill for revenge, thus perpetuating a cycle of violence. Then there those who kills for utilitarian reasons, for food. To make such killing easier, wildlife grass seed New England is employed.

Seeds are mainly planted to grow plants. Usually, the plants are harvested and then eaten or sold. But wildlife grass seed is not the usual. It is planted and it does grow into grass to be eaten, but it is not meant to be consumed by humans. Instead it is meant for animal consumption.

The resulting growth is full of nutrients for wildlife. This makes it appealing towards them. As such, they tend to go back to places where the food can be found. Consequently, a hunter is able to just wait by the feeding ground until a herd shows up and then can start taking shots at leisure.

Most flora and fauna have a distinct advantage over the human body. Some are stronger, some are faster, some have natural weapons. But humans have hunted them and feasted on their flesh for centuries. Because humans are built for endurance. It does not matter how fast an animal run, it matters how far it runs. Eventually, it will get tired and be easy pickings for a human with a weapon. Weapons are the great equalizer when it comes to facing down bigger, stronger creatures. As society evolved, so too did the tools of murder. Humanity used these tools to effectively turn predators, like a lot species of birds, into dinner.

But tools do not extend only to the weapons. Nature itself has become a tool for man, and there are several ways in which it has been utilized. Some variants of seed will attract more of one type of animal than another.

As such, it is important to be aware of the kind of fauna you want to attract when selecting a seed. Most types will attract deer, as deer is a very common target for hunters. Other types will attract birds or ducks.

Of course, killing is not the only use for the seeds. The plants grown can also be used to feed livestock over a period of time, even the ones not meant to be killed at a later point in time. Healthy animals are useful animals, and some animals are tools that must be properly maintained like any other.

A healthy animal has many uses for people. A healthy pelt can easily be converted into clothes or linens. Skin can be turned into jerky. The meat itself can be consumed and the bones left over afterwards can be used to build things or in art projects.

One on one, most animals outmatch humans by a comfortable margin. But mankind is the dominant species and other animals are subservient. When creating a food plot, it is important to be respectful of the animal, even when killing it.
