Eric Proshuto - Iowa

I was given the opportunity to harvest my greatest whitetail in 21 years of hunting. On top of that it was my very first harvest with a longbow! Our property became a magnet for bucks and does alike, after we planted 7 acres of Alfa Rack Plus and 2 acres of Imperial Whitetail Clover.

 This was the last equation in our QDM program. We had the bedding cover, the browse, the sanctuaries, and the water and after this past spring, we had the highly palatable, high protein food plots (Thank You Whitetail Institute).

This brute was on the trail of a hot doe that had passed by 15 minutes earlier. He was bird dogging this doe on our farm because....well.... that’s where almost all the does in our neighborhood hang out now. He was in the same tracks she had just put down along the edge of the Alfa Rack Plus. I gave a fairly loud baaaahht to stop him. The buck is a buck of a lifetime. I gave thanks to God for this magnificent animal and for the opportunity to experience the hunt and the harvest.

 I can't wait to see what the results of the high protein content will do for the antler growth over the next 5 years.

Thanks to Whitetail Institute for helping me put the exclamation mark on our QDM program. Also, thanks to Whitetail Institute for having the dedication to producing top notch products for those of us practicing QDM!
