Food plots are a long road, and at times difficult, but
it’s also a road you can’t get off. My first food plot was about 15 feet wide
and about 50 feet long, made with a chain saw and tiller. It was my first try
and I used Whitetail Institute’s Imperial Whitetail Clover.
I planted it and
pretty much forgot about it for a month or so. When I rode back to check on how
it was doing, I found the prettiest stretch of clover I had ever seen. That
little experience left me with the desire to continue my clearing and planting
of Imperial Whitetail Clover and No-Plow on the logging roads that went through
our property. That was about 15 years ago. I use Secret Spot in small
clearings, and the new Ambush is used in secluded areas. PowerPlant is one of
my favorites too. The deer love it. Over time, I have seen an increase in the
number and size of the deer but most of all in the antler size. I have cleared
approximately five acres and have been planting nothing but Whitetail Institute
products. If you follow the planting instructions, and with a little help from
Mother Nature, you should have great results. The enclosed picture shows my
youngest son with an 18-point buck, gross 163 inches, that was harvested
between the Ambush plot and the main Imperial Whitetail Clover food plot. I can’t
wait to get the next issue of Whitetail News.
