Gary Chamlee - Alabama

It was mid-November, the first day of Alabama’s Youth Deer Hunt. My seven-year-old grandson, Garrett, had been practicing with his rifle and was ready to go after his first deer. That evening about 2 p.m., we slipped into our shooting house. Right next to it was a pond and a strip of Whitetail Institute’s new product, Double-Cross. We were hunting in Dekalb County in the northeast corner of Alabama.

The strip was about six inches high, and deer were really using it. About 4 p.m., deer began to filter onto the field. Several deer were feeding in the plot. We finally saw a good sized doe that didn’t have any fawns with her. Garrett patiently got propped good and steady, he squeezed the trigger and made a great shot. After finding the deer, the picture taking began. As you can see from the picture, it wasn’t hard to get Garrett to smile. We give a lot of credit to Whitetail Institute’s Double-Cross. This product made it a lot easier to have a successful hunt for my grandson’s first deer. Garrett had a great season, eventually harvesting three mature does, all while hunting over patches of Double-Cross. Thanks Whitetail Institute for making such great products.
