I
have purchased Winter-Greens in each of the past two seasons. The first year
that we tried it we did not purchase a lot with not knowing what to expect. We
had tried other food plots with little to no success.
In that first year of planting,
we saw deer on a nightly basis on the small field we had planted. The deer were
walking right past a standing corn field to get to the Winter-Greens. The only
problem we had with the Winter- Greens was that it was almost all gone by rifle
season. Between bow and rifle season we harvested four deer off of the small
field. This past year we purchased twice as much Winter-Greens. It was doing
great until the middle of August when we experienced a terrible drought for
over one month. The Winter-Greens miraculously survived. They did not grow as
well as the year before, but it still attracted the deer when other crops
didn’t survive the drought. During the two weeks leading up to rifle season,
the buck sign really picked up on and around the Winter-Greens field. On the
opening morning of rifle season, I saw this buck sneaking through the back edge
of the woods towards the Winter-Greens field. In the past two years, we have
seen more and bigger deer. I am a firm believer in Winter-Greens and will
continue to purchase Whitetail Institute products.
