I have 64 acres in Nebraska that I bought in 1992. The property was mostly broken timber surrounded by CRP and pastures. I thought the property had the potential to hold deer, but over the first year, never really saw more than two or three at a time. And the larger bucks only scored 90 to 100.
I had a clearing of approximately 2.5 acres. So I planted it with Imperial Whitetail Clover in the spring of 1993. The clover came up excellent. Since then I have had either clover or Alfa-Rack on the property every year. Deer numbers on my property have increased to the point that I have to do some serious management. And if I was to go a season without seeing at least two trophy bucks in the 130 to 150 range, I would think something was wrong. All three of my children have taken bucks that most veteran hunters would envy.
