I continuously tell every hunter that I talk to about Whitetail Institute products. They have made such an impact on my hunting success. They have turned my property (40 acres) from sub-par habitat to prime hunting. Thank you!
I wanted a spot for my children to have a good chance at harvesting a deer. I am a very avid whitetail hunter but my young son, Paul, didn’t seem to take to it with my passion. Our children are our future so I needed to show him some deer so he might be interested. After asking him to hunt with me for four years, he finally said that he would like to give hunting a try. So during our Wisconsin October doe hunt I set him up by a 1-acre field of Imperial Whitetail Clover. After only 1-1/2 hours a doe came into the field and Paul harvested his first deer. Imperial Whitetail Clover is easily the best product. It pulled deer from my neighbor’s land. Before we saw 1-3 deer per weekend now we see 10-15 per weekend.
A couple of days later he announced to me that he was going to try for his first buck during our November gun season. I was so excited that my son (16 years old) was going to give it a try and spend time with me. Opening day was here. I told Paul that it was ok for him to harvest any size buck since it would be his first one. He said, “No, Dad, I am going to get a big one.” Well he was right! On opening day he harvested the largest buck we had ever gotten on our land. A 10 point buck with a score of 158” B&C. This buck’s dressed weight was over 200 pounds.
The intense size and health of this buck is directly correlated with my Imperial Whitetail food plots. Before using these products we never saw, much less harvested a deer of this size. Even the does we harvest have average weights that are 20 to 30 pounds more than before we started using Whitetail Institute products. I want to thank Whitetail Institute for the fine products which have not only allowed me to create a much healthier deer herd, but more importantly allowed me to spend time with my children. The ability for me to be able to show them so many deer has fueled their desire to participate in the great sport of hunting. This time I was able to spend with Paul and experience the enjoyment he was able to feel. I will be able to enjoy and reflect on it the rest of my life. Thanks Whitetail Institute. My son Paul passed away 1-1/2 years after this exciting hunt. Paul’s stand will always overlook a field of Whitetail Institute products. Thanks for the memories.
