First of all I would like to thank you all for your excellent products for whitetail deer. I have seen and heard about your products for a few years now, but never really gave them much thought. I have always planted wheat, oats and a little of everything. Then I met this guy named Mike Wheeler from Missouri. Mike got to telling me about all the bucks he has taken with his bow & arrow, he also showed me pictures or I would not have believed one bow hunter could be so successful. So I asked him what made it so easy for him to harvest so many Pope & Young bucks. Mike told me a lot of hard work and Imperial Whitetail Clover. Mike said the old saying (plant it and they will come). So after knowing Mike for a season and seeing him harvest another Pope & Young buck and me just getting a glimpse of one I thought I would give the Imperial Clover a try. I called Mike up and he went step by step on what to do and how to do it. He stressed on how I should not skip any of the steps, because it’s better to do it right the first time and get 3 to 5 years than it only lasting one year. After getting the clover planted and seeing it come up the way it did, I was excited for bow season to get here.
Finally October 1st, man did I ever see the deer, in all I probably saw 7 Pope & Young bucks and 3 bucks that would make Boone & Crocket. That’s something I never in a million years would ever dreamed of. The best day of all was November 11th. It was a cold morning and it hadn’t been daylight but 5 or 10 minutes when a 10 pointer was heading towards me, when the buck got to my Imperial Clover field I was at full draw but the buck never really gave me a good clean shot so I elected not to risk it. Then about 7:30 am I heard some deer running towards me. It was a big buck chasing a doe coming right towards my clover field. I got up and ready but they wouldn’t slow down enough to give me a good shot until they got to the edge of my clover field, the buck stopped, I got at full draw and let the buck have it. The buck bolted about 60 yards and laid down. I was 100% sure I made a good clean shot but I wasn’t going to take any chances so I was going to wait at least 1 hour until I went and got the buck.
While I was waiting I couldn’t believe my eyes, I watched a 12-pointer walk out in my clover that would have scored at least 180 or 190 Boone & Crocket inches. After eating my Imperial Clover for what seemed like a lifetime (probably 10 or 15 minutes) the buck walked off.
Finally the 1-hour was up and out of the stand I came and here is what I found. The buck was a 15 pointer and will score in the 170’s. Thanks Whitetail Institute.
P.S. Remember Mike’s favorite saying. Plant it and they will come!!!
