Can it get any better? That is the question I keep asking myself! Now that the Wisconsin deer season has come to a close, I can truly say that I just experienced the “season of a lifetime!” I will share with you my recent success but first I want to step back three years to when it all began. Success for us started when we decided to plant a three-acre plot of Alfa-Rack PLUS.
Our deer sightings increased dramatically, and my 13 year old son Jared ended up harvesting a beautiful 140 class buck (his first buck) that year! His story recently made the “Buck of the Month” segment on Whitetail Institute E-News.
Now fast forward to the most recent season when we decided to give Winter-Greens a try. We tilled and planted a 12 foot wide section (approximately ½ acre) of Winter-Greens all the way around the three-acre Alfa-Rack PLUS field. True to form it developed into lush greenery and by Sept. 15, the deer were already hitting it hard. They would come out of the woods and stop to browse in the Winter-Greens before moving into the Alfa-Rack PLUS. By the time the end of November arrived, the deer had literally eaten the field clean. We are already planning on doubling the size of our Winter-Greens plot for next season!
I am attaching a photo of a buck I harvested on my property this season. The buck is my “BEST” to date. The buck green scored a whopping 186-inch gross nontypical…truly the buck of my lifetime! With that said I wanted to say thank you Whitetail Institute for making such a fine product. Just three short years ago harvesting bucks like this was just a dream for me. Now thanks in large part to Whitetail Institute products they are a reality!
