Kreg Alde
– Alberta, Canada
I bought
a piece of property that was in an excellent whitetail area, but the
resident population was fairly low. Most deer were just moving through
the property and not holding. The first thing I did was put out Cutting
Edge mineral in four locations that were major travel routes and/or
potential bedding areas. Just this addition made a drastic change to the
amount of deer that would reside on the property. The next year, I
planted about 15 acres of Alfa-Rack and 15 acres of Imperial Clover and
WOW was there deer. My quarter now had everything a deer needs; cover,
water, mineral, and food. I have gone four years now shooting a buck
that scores over 150 BC and have had zero winter kill. The buck I shot
last year must have lived on the Cutting Edge because of his mass at a
young age. I filmed the deer three years before when he was 1.5 years
old and he already had the drop tine, but he did not look like he would
ever amount to a large set of antlers. I was shocked to see him this
year and all the junk he had. Photo 1.
The large
217 inch buck that was shot last year in Central Alberta. He was dubbed
the crown buck because of his brow tines. We had been after this buck
for two years and we had a lot of pics on our cameras while he was
coming in and out of our food plots. With the help of the food plots and
Cutting Edge we held him to the general area for two years, but
unfortunately he jumped the fence last year and the neighbor was
waiting. He is probably the biggest buck shot in Alberta last year and
he grew an estimated 50 inches, based on photos, in the year we went to
food plots and Cutting Edge. This was a buck of a lifetime and I guess
we can say we had a lot to do with producing such an awesome deer. Photo

wildlife and my hunting experiences. |
