A few years ago Whitetail News published a story about a 159-7/8-inch buck I killed on my Imperial Whitetail Clover food plot. It made my day! I’d like to say thank you and that I harvested another great deer using Whitetail Institute products!
I passed up a shooter buck on Sept. 9 two years ago, just minutes before I harvested the 159-7/8 buck I called Cecil. The night I shot the deer I called Cecil, I passed up a deer I called the Fat Five as I knew he was only 3-1/2 years old but supported a pretty nice heavy, massive rack. This past season I decided he would be a mature deer I would chase. Thousands of pictures of him using 30-06 Mineral sites, food plots, bait piles and scrapes led me into a half-acre Imperial Whitetail Clover plot he was frequently visiting in the daylight. With no luck for the first few sits, I changed plans and set sights on a deer I called Rock Star — a 5-1/2-year-old 180-inch typical 7-by-7 with split G2s because he started showing up in the daylight in a hay field over a 30-06 mineral site. I sat waiting for Rock Star to appear but he never did. Instead, the Fat Five appeared and headed my way. I drew back and arrowed him at 23 yards in the same spot I passed him up the year before. After a 200-yard tracking job, my girlfriend, a few friends and I finally laid hands on him. He is a 152-1/2-inch heavy-antlered 5-by-5. He loved the Imperial Whitetail Clover and Fusion plots we planted and also loved to use the 30-06 and the 30-06 Plus Protein mineral sites.
