The first two years after we purchased the 160 acre property in upstate New York we started to clean it up and open it up. We had it logged to let more sun in and turned the logging roads into food plots and four wheeler roads. Also had to post the property. Because every deer was shot at whether it was a button buck or spike. Plus too many hunters. Then we started to put in food plots of Imperial Clover, fruit trees and acorn trees (oaks).
The next few years we noticed bigger deer as our food plots expanded and more deer, as the deer stayed on the property. But come hunting season most of the Imperial Clover was being eaten, so we added Winter-Greens. That did the trick. They didn’t touch it till the first frost which came with the opening of deer season. Enclosed is a picture of one of our food plots and a picture of a 158 inch 11 point my son Arnold Jr. took. Yours truly.
