Since I started using Whitetail Institute products several years ago, the deer have seemed to be more attracted to my properties. I started with Imperial Whitetail Clover and a small plot of Winter-Greens. It was obvious after the first frost that the half-acre plot of Winter-Greens was not near enough. The deer had completely devoured the 15 inches of green vegetation in no time. Within two years after planting the clover, we started noticing more and bigger deer in the area. I have also planted PowerPlant in several areas. I’ve learned that if I leave it through the winter, the deer love to use it as bedding areas. Before using Whitetail Institute products, we rarely saw a deer that measured more than 140 inches. Since then we have harvested seven deer that score more than 150. Plus, we have seen deer in the 200-inch range. This year I harvested 2 bucks 15 days apart from the same tree stand. The first measured 165 inches and weighed 300pounds. (photo 1) The second measured 178 inches. (photo 2)
Since then, I have gotten pictures of a non-typical in the same area that will go 200inches. I’m amazed every year to watch how the deer will dig through the snow to get to the Winter-Greens bulbs and theImperial Whitetail Clover. This has helped hold the deer on the farm so we can collect the dropped antlers in the spring. Also enclosed are pictures (photos 3 and 4)
of a few of the other bucks taken of four plots. I’m a loyal fan of Whitetail Institute products and won’t use anything else.
