I wouldn’t know where to start on how our deer herd has improved over the last four years. We owe it to harvesting a lot of does, trying to be selective on the quality of bucks that would be taken and Imperial Whitetail Clover. In late August we had five bucks visit one food plot at 12 noon. (see pic 1). During the archery season my cousin Richard and I both harvested very nice 9 pointers from the property. We decided to stay out during rifle season but on the last Saturday my brother Chad called me asking to try it on Sunday morning. As I was curious I agreed to let him in. The phone call came at 8am saying he took a 10 pointer. The impressive fact of this 10 pointer was the shot he made and the fact that he had nearly 40 inches in mass. We hadn’t seen this on any 3 ½ year olds before using your product. I killed my best bow kill ever, a 166 inch 11 pointer. Richard has also killed a 152” monster. But the best was yet to come. Opening day of our youth deer hunt found me and my 9 year old daughter in a ground blind waiting for daylight and as soon as we could see the clover we could see this five pointer eating his breakfast. After one shot she killed her first deer. Chad took his 11 year old daughter to the same ground blind the next morning where she also killed her first deer with one shot. These two deer are probably the greatest trophies taken in mine and my brother’s eyes, which couldn’t have been done without great food plots. This was a weekend none of us will ever forget. I also guided my 15 year old son to his first buck a nice 9 pointer. I use to say “it would be nice to even see deer like these” and now we say it is nice to kill deer like that. This is owed to hard work, good management, and great food plots. We work hard every year and some people say were crazy, some make jokes about us because we are so into the deer, my wife even says September 15 starts divorce season but we love it and wouldn’t change a thing. (maybe a little more rain here and there) My name is Frank Ellis and I am a Whitetail Institute customer for life. Enclosed you’ll find photos of some of the deer mentioned.
