In 2002 my friends Charlie Schuenemeyer, Dean Faber and I bought a farm together. It was a 120 acre cattle farm located in Pike County Illinois. It had a good mix of woods and pasture with a small creek running through the middle. We bought the farm for hunting and for an investment. We immediately started planting food plots. We planted about 6 acres of Imperial Whitetail Clover and one acre of Alfa Rack.
We also planted some corn and winter wheat for a total of about 12 acres. We saw some pretty good deer that fall and Charlie managed to kill a pretty nice 10 pt. That winter and the next spring is when we really started seeing things start to happen. As other food sources dried up the deer really started piling into our place, they just loved that clover. We pulled so many does into the property that if the bucks wanted any action they were going to have to come through our farm, and they did, and that was a mistake. We took three nice bucks that second year the biggest grossing 150 P & Y! We saw some bigger bucks but couldn’t close the deal. The third year we took three more nice bucks, the largest was right at 150 P & Y and the body sizes were incredible. We had several bucks that field dressed over 200 lbs.! I know this is the result of our hard work and patience. It was very rewarding to plant that clover and then reap the benefits. The clover gave the deer a high protein food source all year long, they just loved it. Thank you for your help and your product, I recommend them to all my friends. I’ve enclosed some photos.
