Stewarding Nature With Wildlife Grass Seed

By Stephanie Wood


Some people like killing. There are those in society for whom the act of taking a life provides a measure of ecstasy. Some people kill for sustenance, consuming the flesh of the creature killed, hunters. Hunters have used the age old knowledge that animals eat plants to harness the power of grass in order to treat the land to make it more desirable to an animal using wildlife grass seed New England.

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.

Land with abundant food sources will be full of fauna. More animals equal more targets, making it much easier for a hunter to make a kill. The healthy food source also means a higher quality of animal killed, as opposed to a mangy runt, a hunter can back a hearty buck.

Beasts are physically superior to humans. It would take a group of men armed with weapons just to be a match for one bear or lion or rhino. They are also faster than humans, a cheetah can run more than twice as fast as the fastest human ever recorded. But humanity still wins in the end through a combination of endurance, that is being more effective in the use of energy, and weapons, tools designed to kill. A tired animal is a vulnerable animal and there are few things more dangerous than an armed and determined person.

Now, humanity has harnessed the plant life and created many types of it. There are seeds that will grow a grass that is preferred by deer and elk. Some types will help a fawn grow into a big buck.

When choosing the kind of seed to plant, think about the kind of animal you want to feed. Some variants will contain the nutrients that make the results attractive to birds. Other variants will be more attractive towards larger quadrupeds like deer or elk.

But simply making it easier to score a kill is not the only use of the grass. Anyone taking care of livestock would be wise to invest in seeds to create a wildlife food plot. A food plot can feed many animals, keeping them healthy enough that they may be useful.

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.

Humans have always shared the world with others. Sometimes, humans have not been respectful of them, driving several of them to extinction. But there are always been those who have respected them, and they should be respected. Not only do they provide vital resources and services, they have also been occupants of the planet as it is simply good form to be respectful of neighbors, even when killing and eating them.
