Gary Friend – Illinois
I bought a mere ten
acres of ground in when I retired, consisting of five acres of field,
and five acres of timber. A friend of mine told me about the Whitetail
Institute and let me watch your tape! Not being a farmer, I went by your
tape’s instructions. I bought a rear tine tiller for my lawn mower, made
your homemade cultipacker, limed, fertilized, and planted Whitetail
Clover in the Fall. The Jump Start flourished. On November 8, I arrowed
my best buck that netted 133” Pope and Young 100 yards from the clover
patch.
It was educational when
I got the Whitetail News magazine along with the clover (You
don’t just promote your product) you help us hunters.
On November 8, four
years later I arrowed my new best buck yet! 60 yards from the clover. He
had nearly a 23” inside spread and a live weight of 350 pounds via the
chest measurement method. He’s in the 150 class.
I don’t know how
unusual it is to take 2 trophies on the same day four years apart, but I
do know it’s a day I want to be in the woods.
Next year I also plan
on planting Alfa Rack. Thank you Whitetail Institute, it’s been a great
learning experience for me, and it’s paying off more than I’d ever
dreamed. |
