Mine (photo 1) is an 11 point 3 ½ years old that dressed 195 lbs and Randy harvested the 10 point 3 ½ years old that grossed 153 inches with a 15” spread! (Photo 2) My hunting buddy Randy and I have been planting the Imperial products since 1996 when we started to practice QDM on the property. Before this time we planted food plots with seed from the local feed store that was intended for cattle, sure the deer fed on the stuff, but we felt they were not getting the nutrition that Imperial products offered.
We went to see a few seminars talking about the benefits that could be obtained with your Imperial Whitetail Clover and Alfa-Rack, and the Imperial obsession began. In the first three years we planted the Imperial Clover we saw deer out in the plots in the middle of the day, sightings rarely before seen. We started to see the difference in the weight of the animals after two years, and we know the only thing that had changed in the area was the addition of the Imperial Clover.
In 1999 we took the first 3 ½ year old that weighed over 220 lbs dressed, and since then others that were, 208 lbs, 224 lbs, 195 lbs and a 2 ½ that tipped the scale at 196 lbs. These weights were unheard of before. Other than the weights, the mass on the antlers have also increased, with bases of 4” to 5” and carrying the mass all the way through the main beams, with gross scores in the140’s” and now a 153” 3 ½ year old, there must be something working to obtain this!
Since the first plots were planted we have learned a lot, on what will grow here and not there, what the deer prefer by their utilization of the plot. And now our plantings have increased dramatically, with the addition of No-Plow, Secret Spot and Winter Greens, we now have a complete grocery store for those critters we so enjoy and respect. And let’s not forget the camaraderie and satisfaction one has by planting food plots and giving something back along with the people one meets with the same interests as you! With trigger management, a couple hours a week on a tractor seat and Imperial products a dream has come true.
Thanks very much for your assistance throughout the journey.
