I’ve been planting Whitetail Institute products for 12 years, mostly on land that I lease. I bought ten acres five years ago. I cleared about four and a half acres. We built a house, on a hill over looking the creek bottoms. I planted 1-1/4 acres with fruit trees, around the house and Extreme. The rest of the land was planted in annuals — PowerPlant, corn, winter oats and brassicas.

 Last fall I did a soil test and the land tested 6.5 pH, so I planted Imperial Whitetail Clover. I saw a big improvement in quantity and quality. And now I added 30-06 Mineral and the deer have jumped. It is now Aug. 1 and I’m seeing at least 12 bucks. Three are 10-point or better. I enclosed a picture of a 10-pointer that is a monster for this area. I think he is very young, but I don’t know if I can pass him up, if he comes by me. I also see bear and turkeys in my food plots. Thanks Whitetail Institute for great products and all the help you and your staff have given me. I also sent a picture of a deer I harvested in a food plot on the lease.
