Howard Dixon - Kentucky

My best friend Dean Debow purchased the farm we hunt about 14 years ago. We have been hunting partners since high school, (1974). I started with a small plot of Imperial Whitetail Clover. As time progressed we have added about 5-1/2 acre plots of Whitetail Clover.
 We also have one plot with Alfa-Rack Plus and a late fall over seeding of Winter-Greens. We have also used two mineral sites, one with the 30-06 product and the other with Cutting Edge products. I would love to tell you we have 160-180 class deer running around on the property but we have not seen them yet but I think they are there. However, I can report a significant increase in deer activity, body size and antler development. I harvested a good 2-1/2 yr old, 13-point with a 19-inch inside spread in October. I’ve enclosed a picture of him and two other bucks we’ve taken. The best information I can attest to is the Whitetail News publication. We have learned more about managing deer herds and overall property management from reading what the professionals’ advise. It is unreal. We very much appreciate the time, energy and effort put into all the Whitetail Institute’s endeavors to promote quality deer management programs.
