I am a 100 percent satisfied Whitetail Institute customer. Together, my dad, two brothers and I manage a farm in Missouri. But it wasn’t until nine years ago when we planted our first bag of Whitetail Institute’s Alfa-Rack Plus that whitetail management really began on our farm. Before settling on Whitetail Institute, we were merely planting traditional crops such as corn, soybeans, and milo.
Since then we have planted five different Whitetail Institute seed products including Imperial Whitetail Clover, Alfa-Rack Plus, Fusion, PowerPlant, and Winter-Greens. We have also had great results with 30-06 Mineral/Vitamin Supplements, as well as Arrest Max herbicide, and Slay herbicide. That first bag of Alfa-Rack Plus was a huge success. We prepped the CRP field out in front of our favorite box blind and planted the product with hopes of bringing in lots of deer. Needless to say, it worked, and that Whitetail Institute food plot actually lasted for five years. You see, our area has a large deer population but fairly poor genetics, and therefore we never saw any really huge bucks. Whitetail Institute is helping to compensate for that; as we have seen our deer continue to have increased mass and antler growth over the last nine years. Not only are our bucks benefiting, but the does are getting the nutrition they need for themselves and their future fawns. Of course, the fawns love it so much that they hardly pay attention to anything else. Our second attempt at planting a Whitetail Institute product wasn’t as successful. We planted PowerPlant, but it did not break the ground. So, we called Whitetail Institute and were really impressed in the customer service and assistance that we received. The second go-round was better than expected. PowerPlant grew extremely tall, and the deer loved it. The rest is history; we have enjoyed these products so much! I want to include some pictures of our food plot success over the past few years to really show how much we appreciate Whitetail Institute products. In the photos, you will see how much our deer love the 30-06 mineral lick (photo 1). Also included is a picture of one of our deer feeding in this year’s food plot.
(photo 2) Last but not least, the other picture shows the big buck I harvested this year during rifle season. He is truly a monster of a deer, with his mass and non-typical rack.
