THE MANY BENEFITS OF RADISHES

By Gerald Almy

I’ve long been a fan of brassica forages for deer, such as Winter Greens and Tall Tine Tubers, so I was particularly excited when Whitetail Institute introduced its exclusive radish variety — WINA 412 — a few years ago. It’s a critical component in the new annual blend Ravish Radish. I had tried a few generic radishes and found that deer were attracted to them, but I was anxious to plant this new variety, the only radish created to appeal to and nourish white-tailed deer.

Tall Tine Tubers is different from any other turnip product on the market in one important way: its backbone turnip variety, Tall Tine Turnip, is the only turnip variety ever scientifically developed specifically for deer. Tall Tine Turnip is a proprietary turnip variety that you’ll only find in Whitetail Institute products.

Brassicas might be the perfect plant for food plots from fall through winter. Maybe that’s not an exact quote, but such statements were common when these large-leaved, bluish-green plants burst onto the food plot scene when the Whitetail Institute first introduced them as part of their No-Plow blend. Brassicas were especially praised as the ultimate late-season forage for attracting and feeding deer and also providing important benefits for the soil and environment.

Bill Knight – Iowa We planted our first food plot about 25 years ago. We planted clover from the co-op and we saw some deer in it but the most we saw at one time was six or seven. Two years later, my dad bought a bag of Imperial Whitetail Clover to try. We planted the same field, and the difference was like night and day.

Tall Tine Tubers is an all-turnip food-plot product developed by the Whitetail Institute as a food plot planting for deer. At the heart of Tall Tine Tubers is Tall Tine Turnip, a proprietary turnip variety you won’t find anywhere except in Tall Tine Tubers and other Whitetail Institute food plot products.

I’ve planted different seeds from my local coop for several years. This past year I decided to plant Whitetail Institute products. Wow, what a difference. The Winter Peas Plus were hit first and they were hammered.

Is Tall Tine Tubers better than other turnip products as a food plot planting for deer? If better means the only turnip product ever specifically developed for deer, the answer is yes.

I purchased the Solitude Ranch in Fall 2001. This land, in the shadow of Devils Tower, is full of whitetail deer, an animal that I have enjoyed chasing for more than 25 years. I had a lot of reasons for making an investment like this, but one in particular was to try my hand at managing these fascinating critters.

Didn’t get plots planted in spring? No worries. These plantings will attract deer like magnets and can be put in the ground with little time left before opening day.

Curt Lytle had two primary concerns in the days after he settled on a 160-acre southeast Virginia farm: building a house and planting food plots. An avid traditional bow hunter, Lytle was eager to make his new oasis as wildlife-friendly as possible. That plan included food plots — lots of them. In all, he created nine at calculated locations in the pine forest that covered most of his ground.

Looking for a forage that can attract deer in the fall and then have the deer pouring in during the colder months of the year? With Imperial Whitetail Winter-Greens and Tall Tine Tubers, the Whitetail Institute has you covered.

By Joe Blake

New food plots are always a challenge for land managers, but the success of your plantings is directly proportionate to the initial effort you put forth while breaking new ground. My 10-year-old son Ryan’s breathing was labored and his knees were shaking noticeably, but the barrel of his .243 was steady as he focused all his attention on the group of does across the field of Tall Tine Tubers. This was Ryan’s first year of deer hunting here in Minnesota and I chose to set him up in a blind along the edge of this new field. I knew the field was full of deer every night and that there were a handful of dandy bucks feeding on the lush leaves while checking out the numerous does using the field.

Whitetail Salad

By Joe Blake

The author is checking out a
field of Tall Tine Turnips on his
Minnesota farm; notice the tonnage
available from the tall, green
'salad' in early fall.

For pure tonnage, palatability and overall benefits, few food plot offerings excel like brassicas.

The morning sun had warmed considerably, and the frost had all but disappeared from the edges of the field of brassicas stretched out in front of me. By 10:30 a.m. I was getting drowsy and needed to perk up a little, so I stood, stretched, and eased my rattling antlers from the cut limb where they had been hanging since well before daylight. Scanning the surrounding oak woods one last time to make sure no deer were moving close by, I clashed the bone together with as much force as I could muster, and then began twisting and turning the pair together to simulate a couple of angry whitetails engaged in a pre-rut challenge. Returning the rack to its resting place I grunted aggressively several times before slipping the call back inside my wool jacket and wrapping my left hand around the familiar, worn, elk-hide grip of my 60-pound longbow.

Forget the Corn

By Bill Winke

When brassicas are bulb forming, deer
will definitely learn to eat the bulbs.
Generally, the bulbs are most attractive after
the first hard freeze. Imperial Winter-Greens
and Tall Tine Tubers feature bulb producing
plants in their mix

I have finally been broken, figuratively and literally. The hunting season two years ago was the final straw in my massive, years-long campaign to provide my deer with a winter’s worth of maize each year. I went into that spring like all good farmers, filled with the optimism born from the several-month gap since my last failure. I envisioned tall corn and a field full of big ears beckoning every buck in a three-county area. “I will surely slaughter them this year,” I thought with satisfaction.

Write Your Own Hunting History — Logbook is a Tool For Success

By Whitetail Institute Staff

Most of us have probably considered keeping a logbook at one time or

another but have just never gotten around to it. Quit procrastinating, and start today. You’ll never regret it, and your hunting is guaranteed to get better.

By Whitetail Institute Staff

Say hello to the Whitetail Institute’s newest forage blend: Imperial Whitetail Tall Tine Tubers! The Whitetail Institute can’t keep Tall Tine Tubers a secret any longer. With its introduction, hunters and managers finally have a highly attractive, high-tonnage, cold-hardy, turnip product available that is specifically designed for deer. Tall Tine Tubers is purpose-built to provide two sources of food for whitetails, an extremely high-quality forage source as well as tubers, starting in fall and especially through the dead of winter.

Fall Annuals Maximize Hunting Success A smart food plot strategy incorporates fall annuals to provide season-long deer attraction power.

By Michael Veine

A key ingredient to attracting and keeping deer on your property is providing them with a well-rounded diet that features the key nutrients that they are seeking at any particular time of the season. This is even more important during the fall when hunters are trying to cash in on their food plot investments with weapons in hand. In fact, by understanding the basic dietary needs of deer throughout the summer, fall and early winter, deer hunters can tailor their food plots to provide the ultimate in deer drawing power even when the deers’ appetites are ever changing. Fishermen call this “matching the hatch,” but I like to call it playing deer like a fiddle.

Three Stories Make Youth Season Special for Editor

By Bart Landsverk

Wisconsin’s 2010 youth firearm season was held in mid-October, and my son and two nephews had a special weekend. Their fathers did, too. The youth hunt gives children a chance to shoot deer before the typical gun deer season. Here are the stories about my son, Erik, and nephews Nicholas and Michael’s first deer.
