PATRICK RUTLEDGE - PENNSYLVANIA

My dad has been using Whitetail Institute products for about 15 years. We also practice QDM and our DMAP program issues us on average 40 doe tags a year to help control the population. We feel that keeping the deer numbers down and keeping high quality food available are two of the most important things for producing quality deer. We also pass on taking younger bucks hoping they can survive to get closer to maturity. The main Whitetail Institute products we use a lot of are Imperial Whitetail Clover and Winter-Greens.

 We have seen more than 100 deer in one of our Imperial Whitetail Clover fields at one time. The Imperial Whitetail Clover also helps hold the deer on our property all year and the Winter-Greens is fantastic for holding deer during the hunting season. Imperial Whitetail Clover and Winter-Greens make for some fantastic hunts. We’ve killed over a dozen Pope and Young’s off our property over the years. I killed the 11-point in the photo in the woods off our food plots. He was chasing the does that hold around our food plots. He scores 154 inches, and is my best buck ever. Thanks Whitetail Institute. Keep up the good work.
