We put the Imperial Whitetail Clover in a 5- acre
rich river bottom food plot three years ago. We have mowed it two times a year
and we spray it with Arrest and Slay herbicides to maintain weed control.
We
also use smaller plots located throughout the property. Since doing these
things we have seen a noticeable difference in the number of deer and an
increasing growth in the size of all bucks we have seen and harvested. On
observation trips to the large 5-acre plot during mid summer we regularly
observe anywhere from two to 20 deer in the clover plot at one time. On one
occasion in July two years ago we videoed 22 deer in the field with the count
being nine bucks, four of which we consider shooters and seven mature does and
six yearlings. This concerned us. How was the plot going to withstand the
pressure of that many deer visiting the plot daily. It was also a dry year as
well but as you can see by the enclosed picture it has held up very well. Also
enclosed are some photos of two of the deer we have harvested since the food
plots have been planted. Prior to planting Imperial Whitetail Clover we killed
110-inch bucks. Since planting we have killed many more bucks, one being a
158-inch bow kill. I’m unable to spend as much time in the woods preparing for deer
season and Whitetail Institute products have helped me maximize my time spent
plus increased the quality of the deer I hunt.
