Scott Johnston - Michigan

I own a square 10 acre parcel of land in lower Northern Michigan. It is all mature Maple, Basswood and Beechnut. Last fall I had it select cut to open the canopy and get some undergrowth growing. Prior to the cut I would occasionally see a deer or two cutting through here going “somewhere”. I decided that I would also plant a food plot where the landing was made for loading the trees. I called the Whitetail Institute and explained that, here I only have about 2” of topsoil and then it goes right into yellow sand. Alfa-Rack Plus and Extreme was recommended. I couldn’t be happier.

We were blessed with just the right rain this year and the plot came in great. I had knee high growth. The main reason I wanted this plot was to draw deer into it for my 13 year old daughter’s first deer. Last year before the plot was planted, she sat with me five times. Some day’s were o.k. but most just cold! She didn’t last long, we never saw a deer. This year after the plot was in, she got her 1st deer. 30 minutes into the opener of the youth season, a 3 point stepped out to feed and she made a perfect shot. I have included her picture. Thanks Whitetail Institute for your great products.
