Several years ago, my brothers and I purchased a farm to take our kids and friend’s deer and turkey hunting. We purchased an old tractor, disc, and planter to plant food plots on various locations on the property. We tried several different varieties and types of seed purchased from the local feed store, for which we achieved marginal results at best. Last fall, we decided to perform a food plot test/study, utilizing seed from one of the premium deer plot seed companies and compare to our existing plots.


After researching different companies and seed information, we decided to give Pure Attraction from Whitetail Institute a try. As directed on the instructions sheet, we  performed soil tests, limed, fertilized, and broadcast the Pure Attraction in two food plot locations that had previously incurred poor plant production.

Within a few weeks our food plots were lush and thick with 4-6 inches of growth. My trail cameras immediately started photographing more deer and turkeys in the Pure Attraction food plots.

Most of the pictures showed deer gorging themselves with Pure Attraction. Throughout our bow and gun seasons, we witnessed significantly more and bigger bucks than any prior year. The evenings became quite a show to watch the deer walk and run to the Pure Attraction food plots like someone rang a dinner bell!

Deer wore paths down from the neighbor’s farm straight to the Pure Attraction plots. We were also surprised to see how well the Pure Attraction held up to the daily hammering it took from the deer and hard freezes.

Since winter arrived, we are continuing to watch deer feed in the Pure Attraction, when our other food plots stopped producing. As a result of planting Pure Attraction, I harvested my biggest bow kill buck to date, 158-inch 10-point, which was standing 18 yards from my stand with its mouth buried in the Pure Attraction. Without a doubt, Pure Attraction was the primary reason why my family and friends enjoyed the best deer season to date on our farm. I am sold on Pure Attraction and will be planting additional Whitetail Institute products next spring and fall.
