Our hunting camp is in upstate New York where we have been using Whitetail Institute’s Imperial Whitetail Clover, Alfa-Rack Plus, Imperial Winter-Greens and 30-06 minerals for several years.
We have six small 1/8-acre food plots, plus two 2-acre food plots spread on more than 500 acres. We also practice quality deer management on the property with fair results, as our bucks tend to average 120 inches as 8-pointers. After reading several articles in Whitetail News, we decided to plant Whitetail Oats Plus on the small landing that we call our Pine Tree stand. All fall, our trail cameras took pictures of three young bucks, many does and fawns devouring the Oats Plus at all hours of the day. On the morning of Nov. 21, 2020, we got the surprise of our lives. A small doe fed into the Oats Plus at 8:35 a.m. and slowly moved off, while continually looking back. This awesome 162-inch, 10-point buck, weighing 195 pounds field dressed, followed the doe. My son, Clayton, made a clean kill. Needless to say, we will be planting a lot more Whitetail Oats Plus this season.
