My 10-year-old son Gavin has set the bar high
for all of us. During the Iowa early Muzzleloader season, he killed this buck
which gross scored 173-4/8 inches. Even more amazingly he gross scored 165
inches as a main frame 8-point.
His brow tines are 12 and 11 inches. We’ve been
using Whitetail Institute products for over 20 years, and to say we are pleased
is an understatement. I guess that’s pretty obvious when we’ve been using them
for so long. We think Gavin’s buck is a descendant of the 206-inch buck with
long brow tines a friend killed on our land several years ago. We’ve raised our
standards (except for kids) to the point to where we don’t shoot anything less
than 4-1/2 years old, and we have killed 160-inch plus deer every year for the
past 10 years. We use mostly Imperial Whitetail Clover but also use Extreme, Winter-Greens
and also use Secret Spot. All these products have performed well but the
Imperial Whitetail Clover continues to amaze us. It is extremely hardy, lasting
for years through the cold and severe droughty times. The nutrition it provides
is helping our deer reach their genetic potential at maturity and that’s a big
part of why we constantly shoot 160-inch-plus deer. But best of all, the deer
love it. We see deer in our Imperial Whitetail Clover plots all the time,
whether it’s noon or midnight. We have seen as many as 49 deer in an Imperial
Whitetail Clover plot at one time. I also want to mention that Whitetail Institute
customer service is the best I’ve ever experienced anywhere. We thank Whitetail
Institute for not only their products and customer service but for the effort
they put into developing these products and for helping dreams come true, even
for a 10-year-old.
